Yesterday my bike fell over and the brake lever broke off. Fixed that no problems (Thanks bimbsb6 biggrin) but when i started it up in the evening i realised that my headlight wasn’t working. I thought it was simply because the bulb was broken so i bought a new one today and fitted that but headlight still won't come on. There are no problems with any of the other lights and i was hoping that someone might point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Hi Omniuos !
Did your Suzy fall on the lamp as it "crashed" ?
Maybe there is a mass problem now,
did you look at all the cables/connectors in the headlamp
to check if any were torn/disconnected if the headlamp was tilted
during the falling down ?
Regards,
Benni

checked the fuses? a sharp knock (like hitting the floor) could have jarred one loose.

Lights switch in the right-hand switchgear? It may have had a whack.
