| Re: Headlight keeps burning out That many does make it sound like it may be overcharging. Put a voltmeter over the battery and run the bike around 4-5,000 rpm steady. Voltage should not be over 15.5v I think. |

| Re: Headlight keeps burning out one thing I didnt mention is that the light works good sometimes and then it will get really bright then go back to normal and then get really bright back and forth and then it will eventually burn out. |

| Re: Headlight keeps burning out Im not sure if there is a fuse for the headlight harness, but if so, be sure it is the correct amperage. All sub fuses are 10A |

| Re: Headlight keeps burning out A 30A main fuse near the black box. This wouldnt cause a headlight issue though. Do you have aftermarket LED turn signals? |

| Re: Headlight keeps burning out Do they have a resistor in the circuit? Ive heard of LED turn signals drawing too much current through the harness, melting themselves and perhaps also the bulb filaments. |

| Re: Headlight keeps burning out I still haven't had any luck. Does anyone know where the voltage regulator is located on this bike? |
