hi, been out on bike today and then realised as it started to get dark that my lights weren't on (suppose to be on permanently), headlight, tail light and light behind dash all off. Break light still comes on.
Only things i can think of are; no bulb in front left indicator, back ones flashes twice as fast but been working OK since i got the bike (2-3 weeks); gave the bike a quick clean today, just a damp sponge and wiped down afterwards so water shouldn't have damaged electrics?
Any suggestions?
thanks, Grant

edit: horn stopped working also

Check the battery, Fuse(s) any electrical connections in between battery, and ignition, then check switch gear on your bars? also get a multi meter on your battery to see if you have any charge in there.

As soon as i posted i remembered fuses, and yup one of them has gone. The one marked 'Headlight' Very Happy
does that explain the dash as well? And the horn?
Only switch on bars for lights is low or full beam, when on full beam the light on dash doesn't come on. Hoping it is just that fuse Sad
thanks. Grant Smile

Is it a US market one then, if it doesn't have a light switch?

The headlight fuse only covers the headlight circuit, which includes the instrument back-lighting. The horn comes off of the indicator circuit fuse, which includes the neutral light, rev counter and fuel gauge.
