i finished work tonight and started riding home when i noticed my headlights were'nt on. i put high beam on and it worked. does this sound like i need new bulbs or is it something electrical. its just wierd how both lights dont work on low.

Re: low beam not working!
Whip the bulbs out and have a look is probably your best bet mate

Re: low beam not working!
I had the same problem. If its a Curvy s model take off your main seat and check on the left hand side at the loom where it comes out of the fuse box. Have a really good look as you might find what I did and see that some of the wires have been rubbed through due to them touching the frame. If you do spot this it will probley be the white wire that's rubbed through and then blown your fuse. Check your bulbs as above, check your fuses and then check that bit of loom which might help.
Also a bit of electrical tape over the wire and a little bit of re-routing will help the wires to stop touching |

Re: low beam not working!
its a k4 pointy. well i checked fuses and bulbs and they are ok. when i had an off the switch for hi/lo split so there is a gap. its been ok for 3 months since but water might have got in and corroded connections. i checked for voltage at connector where it goes in to bulb and there isnt any on low but there is high. when i fiddled with the conector sometimes low would come on but it wouldnt stay on so looks like bad connection although i dont know where.
