Headlight Problem

jfcbr91 · 03-28-2007, 12:07 PM

I have a 91 cbr 600 F2 and recently the headlight stopped working. Right before it stopped working, it would shut off when i turned all the way to the right but now it just doesn't turn on at all. The fuses are fine and i checked all connections. Anyone got a suggestion?

heres a possibly. if there is any bare wire (+ive) exposed and it comes into contact with the frame when you move the bars, it will short circuit.
assuming the bulbs and fuses are all ok, trace the wire back as far as you can use an electrical contact cleaner on all the connector blocks.
otherwise you will need to use a multimeter and test the voltage across the terminals on the headlight connector. working back to trace the fault back as far as you can.
