| Posted : 07 Feb 2018 - 01:31 Post title : Re: head light not coming when turn key (Re: aussiebird) | | Light comes on when handlebars hit stops? May sound goofy, but it is possible to plug H4 connector to headlight backwards, leaving center connection open-circuit. Certainly a quick fix if that's the case... Seems odd that a broken wire would connect by turning bars in either direction, unless stops are providing ground somehow.

Cant be much wrong. Just go back to basics and think. " well it was working WHEN?? " what or did I fuck with anything, and then 99% chance you will find the problem. Trust me it works. I have just spent 100's of hours fucking with the rear end on my bike looking for something that I very well may of caused.

Got my Auto Electrician to take a look.Yep it was a wire almost broken through.The wires get pretty tight when turning hard left or right.We lengthened the wires so it wont happen again
