Hey guys,
Just wondering do our machines have problems with the head light relays?
Because my head light it not working of the switch neither is the high beam.
But when i use the high beam on the passing trigger switch the high beam so i am thinking it might have something to do with the relay. Has anyone had a similar issue ever?

Thanks

 

Pull the front cowl off and double check all of you connections. My head light would randomly work for a while then it quit completely. Come to find out the connector that runs to the relay had vibrated loose. I hit it with some electrical contact cleaner and plugged it back up. No problems since then.

 

Ok no worries i will check it and hopefully that's it.

 

was that it?

 

Read this thread.. it was my headlight issue and cost $0 to fix.

Always start by double checking all connections and if dirty clean them. Then move on to the cheaper fixes if possible. Why spend more money than needed!

 

Our bikes don't have relays for the headlights. They are all controlled by switches. ( I haven't seen a wiring diagram for a European model F3, and we don't have the passing button so not 100% sure on those). The Starter Switch, The Kill Switch and the High/Low Beam switch control power to the Headlight. If any of you on the other sides of the pond want to post up a wiring diagram from your shop manual that would be great. I'd like to compare them to the US versions. Take a look at the following thread, there are some good photo's and explanations about the headlight circuit.

Yer... best place to start is finding a wiring diagram like dirt suggested and start going through the kill switch/headlight/signals wiring with a fine-toothed comb.

It's all interconnected, so there's probably an issue with some of the common wiring and that's why you're seeing some symptoms elsewhere.

 

Sorry Boys I have not had a chance to get near the bike for the last couple of weeks GRRRRR I think I might have some time this weekend I'll have a look then.
