    Alright ya'll needing more help.

    Having a little trouble with my headlight. SO I've checked the obvious it is not blown (good bulb) checked fuse etc. All good still not on.

    Where should I check next?

    Thanks for your help.

    did you check the bulb with a volt meter, or by supplying power to it, or by putting a good bulb in the socket?

    i get bulbs all the time that do not appear to be blown (sometimes they look brand new) that actually have an open circuit and dont light up.

    as far as where to go next, im too new to these bikes to give that advise, sorry :)

    wbaize - you need to update your signature so we know which model you have.

    Some of them have headlight relays which prevent the headlight from coming on until the charging system is producing. On these models a charging system failure will result in the headlamp not working.

    ok cool, so I look into that thanks MiCarl, and I think I updated the signature but I'm not sure if I did it correctly.

    Your bike does NOT use a headlight relay.
