Headlight flasher problems

The problem is, it doesn't work. Not a major problem I know, but it would be nice to have it working. It's never worked since I had it. How do you get in and have a look at what might be wrong?

You talking about the little switch that you flick to flash the headlamp prior to overtaking?

Have you tried squirting a load of WD40 into the switch unit then wiggling it.

Do the actual main beams work when put on without the little flasher switch?

As Hex suggests, if the main beam works off the normal switch then it must be the flasher switch that's faulty. Have a look in the switch casing and dowse it in WD as Stinky says Thumbs Up

Or alternatively just pop a wheelie, has a similar effect Twisted Evil
