My headlight was dead the other night (9:30PM) when I tried to head home on my 2005 XB12Scg. I was pretty pissed because I only have 5500 miles on it but I didn't think much of it as I was able to ride home with my high beam. The next morning as I was leaving for work I notice my high beam isn't working. I stopped for bulbs on my way into work and replaced them in the parking lot at lunch. Everything seemed fine when I headed home that afternoon. Within a mile of leaving work, I pulled up behind a black pickup truck, where I noticed my low beam was out again. I switched to high beam, which was working and when I got home it was dead too! I checked the wiring and the fuse, but can't seem to find anything wrong. To make matters worse, I can't find the service manual or my VDSTS. I shouldn't have blown 4 bulbs in less than 24 hours. Any ideas? | ||

I went through 5 sets of bulbs before I broke down n took it to the stealership. My voltage regulator was spiking up to 17volts n popping them. If you can find you manual theres a test you can do to see if its that. | ||

Buelltroll, Thanks for responding to both of my posts. I started the bike and probed the headlight wiring harness with a volt meter and @ 2500 RPMS I was at 17.5 volts and climbing proportional to the RPMS. I guess that's it. I wonder how much they cost? I guess I'll call Daves. Thanks. |
