Yesterday, on my GSXR SRAD.

When I put the highbeam on nothing happens, however when I use the pass button the highbeams come on...

What the hell is going on? Anyone got any idea how to sort it?

Check the connections of your headlight switch? could be worn and not making the connection. the lights and circuit work as proved by the pass button.

might be somewhere to start?

Its probably the dipped beam fuse.

Have you considered a TDM?

I had this and it was a dodgy earth. Check the fuses/bulbs first, then I would whip the tank of and check all the connector blocks. Clean them up make sure there is good contact. Thumbs Up

Have had similar on the Pan. Switching from dipped to main beam would cause all lights to go off for half between the two (interesting on a dark country road!).

Giving the switch a good clean with electrical contact cleaner cured the problem.
