Got myself a used 2009 ybr125 from a dealer recently and everything was okay, but today I just noticed that the Headlights, dash and tail lights are not working.

The horn and the brake lights work and the neutral light on the dash workss and the bike still runs perfectly okay.

I doubt that both the front and tail lights both blew at exactly the same time but I don't have spare bulbs to test them at the moment, does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be and what I need to check to fix it?

When you say dash lights... Do the indicators work... And do you just mean the blue 'high beam' light doesn't work?

Does the side light (small bulb) at the front come on when you turn the key on?

Both the headlamp and tail light are dual filament bulbs. If you haven't got a tester, the bulbs would be an easy option to try replacing, handy to have a spare anyways...

My headlamp went wonky when the battery was playing up, but if it runs OK, i'd look at the bulbs first...

How recently did you get it from the dealer? What checks did they say they'd done? Might be worth popping it back for a check?

Can't remember exactly, but I think there's only one fuse. If some stuff still works it isn't that. And the relay wouldn't affect the tail light as well?

Look at bulb to see if filament obviously gone. Test to see if you're getting 12v to the bulb holder, or just get new bulbs

I've literally just had the bike for one week, ridden it for less than 20 miles.

All other electronics work. The bike starts perfectly, the neutral light on the dash works, the indicator signals on the dash works, the indicator lights on the bike itself all work, the break lights work, the horn works.

Pretty much everything works except the headlight and tail light.
I just bought a multimeter and some fuses that will arrive tomorrow to test.

Pretty sure there's one fuse on the YBR

Probably a connections come loose, open up the headlight and have a look
