headlights rnt working when the bike is running. I turn the key on leave the engine off and both lights r on when the brights r activated. Switch the brights off and no headlights. bright switch on and start the engine and the brights indicator stays on but no lights, switch the brights off and still no lights. Both Bulbs R Working So the bulbs rnt bad. Any advice will be appreciated. Gotta go back to base tomorrow and the bike is my only transportation.

I'm having the same exact problem. The bike starts up fine and blinkers, brake light, and everything works perfectly except for the headlights.

Had this problem before a couple weeks ago and took apart the connectors, cleaned and reattached and worked fine after that.

Firebolt03, have you noticed if this problem happens after you have unlocked the handlebars, or does it matter? I've only noticed it when my handlebars were locked prior to startup.

I've also had problems with my relays getting melted, but when that happens, the bike won't even crank.
