Love my new 02 F4i

Whatsup guys,
picked up my 02 F4i a month ago (the yellow & black one) .
Man, it's so different from my old Ninja 500. Lighter and more power (much more power), I love it.
Went to Thunderhill raceway in Willow, CA with it. Had a great time taking it around the track on a parade lap.
Had a great time with the twisties, had a few scary almost crashed my bike moments, but the bike saved my a$$ cause it handled well.
Anyhoo, I have this problem with one of my front headlight, it won't light up on low beam, it'll only turn on on high beam (the other headlight is okay). I thought the headlight is broken, so I changed it, but the same thing happened with the new lightbulb.
Any ideas? (is there a fuse somewhere that I should check or anything)

Thanks,
TJ

That is the way it is made. You bought yourself a one eyed monster. Many complain about the Honda's doing that, but that is how it comes from the factory. If you search around this site, there were guys posting on how you can change it to make it on all the time. I just drive around during the day with my brights on.

Welcome to the site.....one eyed guy!!!

For real, that's weird (Honda made a pretty one eye monster). Do you know if I risk burning out the bulb quicker if I just keep it on high beam all the time?

Thanks for your input , I'll search around the site on how to fix it, but it'll be a great help if you have the link for it or remember which forum section the how to fix up is posted in (is it the Technical section)?

Hi TJ & welcome to the boards. Post up some pics of your bike when you get a chance.

Here are two quick photos at Thunderhill. The bike is similar to Homer's bike except everything is stock, plan to put the frame sliders on this weekend.
You could probably see all the bugs I killed from the front image (it got worst on my way home after the sunset, freakin bugs everywhere, I'm a bug killer hehe)
That's the other thing I have to do this weekend is clean my one eye baby up :)
