Hi there,
The 01 Kat 600 I recently bought only had 1 headlight working when I got it. I was about to buy a new bulb for it when I noticed the connector was unplugged from the headlight. After plugging it in, both worked on low and high beam, so I thought it was all set.
About a week later, i went to take the bike out for a ride at night and realized neither headlight was working on high or low beam.
I made sure the connections were good behind the headlights, took off the seat and checked the fuse box. There is a high beam fuse and a low beam fuse. Both fuses are ok. The console is lit and the other lights on the bike including blinkers work fine. There is a small light above the headlights that is lit up--not sure what that's for. Just cosmetic?
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can suggest what I should check next. My gut tells me it is either a bad wire somewhere that is going to be a b**** to track down or perhaps the high/low headlight switch on the handlebars has gone bad.
As a side note, I recently bought a new right main fairing off ebay and installed that onto the bike. Is there any connector that runs on that side of the bike that I may have not have been reconnected? I did notice a connector on that side that doesn't appear to be plugged into anything, but honestly can't remember if I unplugged something there or not--I don't believe I did though.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can check next?
