Dipped beam headlights not working
 
Hi
Noticed yesterday that lights on my 650s k3 are not working on dipped beam. Full beam and side lights are ok.
I've checked the fuse and checked the bulbs, no problems.
Electrics are not really my thing, is there any thing else that i could check with my limited knowledge?
Cheers
Paul

Most likely the connector that's buried right inside the fairing - it gets furred up on the dipped headlight pin. It's a pain to access as it involves taking the entire front fairing off.

I just cleaned mine and it fixed it. Some have taken more drastic measures and added a bullet connector, bypassing this pin altogether.

Loads of posts on this issue... mainly by me... as Ophic says it's the block connectors. Bypass them, PITA but permanent fix.
