hate_camel Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hi, I've noticed on my SR125 that there is a problem with my headlight. Sidelight setting is fine, then I move the switch to dipped headlight and it doesn't get any brighter, but full beam works fine. Any ideas? A friend suggested charging my battery, which is fine I'll just have to buy a charger first. Is it likely to be anything other than a battery in need of a charge? I've had no other signs of flat battery, its starts easily and runs fine. Many thanks, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted July 30, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2009 i sugest checking the bulb and if thats fine have a look at the switch ( might just be a loose connection ) +1, there are two filaments in the bulb, have a look with a magnifying glass you may see one broken, if you have a multimeter test them both you should get a reading from each solder point to the metal casing.
