Headlight doesn't work, turns on with pass switch
04/27/13 at 13:50:40
 
So I noticed my headlight was out yesterday. Got a new bulb, nothing. Then I noticed it flicked on when I held down the pass switch that flicks it to high beam real quick. The whole switch assembly is a little corroded, but the horn and pass switch still work. But the regular high to low switch gives nothing, and my turn signals haven't worked in a while. I'm wondering if its from the switch and not from a connection I made when I changed them. I'm thinking about jumpering the wires that go to the pass light to get it working until something else can be done, I have no other way to get around. I should also mention that my clutch safety switch went recently, and I've got it jumpered with a paper clip in the clip. The bike sits outside all the time, and it's starting to show... Any ideas? Anyone know where I can order a whole new pod/switch assembly? Is that what I need to do? Any help would be great.

Well if the headlight bulb is good, and the orange wire is feeding electricity up to the handlebar control....it sounds like your switch assembly is dying.

I have a handlebar switch from a 2007 that I am cutting the plug off to use......you are welcome to all the other parts if you pay shipping.  What year is your bike?

It's an 07 as well. I ended up jumping the orange and red wires that run to the pass switch so it stays on high until I can get it fixed.
