Headlight don't come on. Bike kicks over and fuses and modules are fine. I power checked the lights directly to the battery. Please help I'm freakin pulling my hair out.

Is there a relay in line to drop out the headlights when you hit the starter button? I'd have to look at the schematic to see for sure...

On the M2 the trace is from the fuse to hi/low switch to headlight to ground. Fairly simple on this model. Just check for approx 12v from the fuse all the way to the headlight then for a proper ground. This is assuming the wiring is the same. 2 tools needed VOM meter and the proper wiring diagram.

Start at the fuse and find where you loose 12v. If it's good all the way to the light then probably a bad ground.
