Hi All

Anyone able to share their wisdom on side light/main beam switch workings?

Looking for advice on where the switch workings are located for side/main beam. Possible faulty switch/loose connection or moisture?

Enjoyed an exciting (now you see me, now you don’t) trip home tonight. Thank the sweet baby Lord Trevor for kick ass exhaust notes or I might have been a road hazard!

Pop Pop.

Simon.

I had this one.

As has been mentioned, the control unit (on top of the fuel tank) has a connector which isn't really up to the job of running the Headlights for a long period of time, and it tends to burn out.

You will be able to spot the pin of the connector which is the culprit straight away - it will be black!!

A bit of delicate screwdriver work will mend it temporarily, but the connector will need to be replaced, or the wire soldered directly onto the circuit board (the long term answer).
