I've had problems with ingtion barrel failing on honda causeing no lights what so ever check the bulbs. Is the battery anygood and test the yello wire from magneto this is the chargeing wire as I remember might also be worth test the rectfier ecy a power probe and multi meter are your freinds here

Hi can you take this back to basics for me electronics isn't my strong point but I d have a multimeter

Do I have removed the lense and both bulbs look ok

Where do I go from here

[bradh511]

If you remove the lense buy the 1 phillips if im correct and memory serves me right pull the head lamp forward and out to get to the back of the bulb un clip bulb check element as they do go fairly easy... With road condtions again do you have a good battery ? Lights will only work with engine running... On theq left had side of the engine cover that cover the fly wheel same side as gear shifter there shoul be a multi plug with several wires check the yellow wire is putting power out as this the chargeing feed for battery and for the lights if memory is correct need bike running to check

All the best

Brad
