Hi guys
I just take my bike out of storage today, after a few cranks it fires up without any problems so i rev it up and "pffff" the headlight just went out like that...I turn it off and turn it back on, the bike starts easy but still no headllights, I checked the 10A fuse, it's still good.. check the connections they're fine.....Has anyone ever had this problem? Please help..

could just be a coincidense (sp) Or could have been a spike in voltage. A good sign of a bad Regulator is poping headlights as they are the most sensitve to voltage

Sounds like it just blew the bulb. Check charging system though.

Check the bulb. If it isnt blown grab a multimeter and see where the voltage is going, check multiple points in the lighting system to the ground ( negative terminal/ frame ) and see where your voltage/ current is interrupted.

thanks guys
I check the lightbulb they're fine.. I downloaded the manual and look at headlight section.. there is a socket for the bulb but i dont have it on mine...could that be a problem? Can any of you guys try to insert the plug right in to the bulb without using the socket and see if they come on? thanks

if you reved it up really hard you deserve it =p
if not then it's just bad luck but sounds like you just gave the bulb too much power after sitting.
