Grouch Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Recently I upgraded my bulbs and ever since the sidelight has stopped working and now my bike will only start when it is on high beam. What could be causing this? I knew I should of just left the lights as they were and not interfered, it has caused loads of problems.

dt502001 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hey Grouch a couple of ?? 1 does the bike turn over on low beam? but not start 2 If you pull in the clutch in netural will the bike turn over on low beam? 3 By side light do you mean the signals and is it just the front or front and rear? And do the signal work? 4 Can you start the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenDAWG Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 By side lights I think he means the small bulb in headlight next to main bulb!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm thinking, with your own self confessed inexperience in working on bikes, is that you have mixed up / disconnected / disturbed some wiring in the headlamp. Get a wiring diagram take the light off and have a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
