[nj01f4i]

hey guys i know i havent posted much since joining the site.

01 cbr600f4i

my headlight has stopped working completly. no low beam no high beam no high beam indicator, i checked the fuse its fine i even replaced it witha brand new fuse still nothing i checked the bulbes and also replaced them still nothing. i cant figure out what it is.
if anyone has any ideas or suggetsions please help me im losing my patience . and i called the shop where i bought my bike from and all the guy could tell me is to drop off my bike and that he would get around to it sometime next week(not my favorite option).

so please any help would be greatly appreciated.

What were the events right up to the point of the headlight not working? Were you working on anything? Did it sit for a period of time and just stop working? Were you out riding and it just cut off? Any more info you can provide right up to the point where it stoped working might help us point you in a better direction. In the meantime, get a volt meter, unplug the connector(s) to the headlight and make sure your getting power. Let us know.

maybe a faulty wire.. or lightbulbls went dead... it could be one of many diff things.. i am not expert but i woudl check wires and lightbulbs.. if you have not already done so..

it did sit for 2 weeks prior to me riding it today. im gunna try and get ahold of a voltmeter and check that im getting power

where do you store the bike.? maybe a critter chewed away on the wire while it was stored. i would start with checking the wires from the headlight back.

the bike is only this big |---------|

and you only have to check this much of the bike |---|

Definitely get a volt meter. Also, check the left clip on where the wires go in for the low/hi switch, make sure everything is connected properly in there and that you're gettin power to and through it.

i dont have a voltmeter or access to one, but i did check all the wiring and its all connected properly. i thank you guys for your input.

for an 01? Not unless you have some sort of ext. war. Least you know what it is, can replace the relays yourself.

[John712]

dont pay them to do it if its not under warranty. i live an extra 15 minutes from there and can do it for a 6-pack. i got scissors and duct tape

but seriously pm me if u wanna save some cash

[nj01f4i]

i bought it back in august and it came with a warranty from the dealer i also purchased an extended warranty. so it should be covered.

John217 i apreciate the offer, but the only 6-pack youd get from me would be 6-packs of pepsi or coke whichever you prefer.haha im not old enough to buy alcohol.

im going to bring it to the dealer just to have them fix it i dont exactley have the time to fix it myself.

but thankx again for all the input guys
