Hey guys and gals. New here and to bikes. I have a 05 CBR600RR. It just rained today and the bike was out in the rain while I slept and my cover is in storage. I got on the bike tonight after it dried up today, cranked it (low beam came on) straightened up the front tire and put it in gear and matter of second or 2 the low beam went out. I tried the high beam and got nothing. Tried the turn signals they are fine... It looks like they run seperate but they run to the same switch. Would the low beam being out cause the high beam not 2 work. I asked a friend and he said they were the same bulb, I said I have a Honda not a GXR 2 diff lights! I also before had the tiny bulb out between the lights at the bottom of the windshield, when is that suppose 2 work? Can anyone help me out. I took the bulb out it looks fine, but just like with other bulbs and fuses looks are not everything. I am going to buy another H7 bulb 2morrow. I will update if it is still messed up.

 

hi get some wd40 and spray some into the light switch i had the same problem with two different bikes and this cured the problem , you need to take the switch apart and clean the inside and re-grease with water proof grease. hope this helps

 

No.

It comes on when your headlight burns out. The fact that this is not on implies that you're not getting any power to the headlight. Check your fuses again. I see them burn on the sides ("legs") a lot, and people usually only check the middle.

 

The problem isn't the switch, as NONE of his headlights come on, not just the high's. The low should always be on.

 

Ok ok. Rmbr Im a huge newb, but where r the fuses. I thought of that 2 I just didn't know where the fuses are. Low came on, went out and the middle light was not on, adn the high beam wont switch on.

 

Im guessing the fuse box in under the right fairing? The black box that has a key hole in it.

 

No idea on that bike, but it's usually easily accessible, so could be.

 

Thanks for the help I'm pretty sure that is the fuse box, I can't check it till my wife gets back to watch my son. I'll update as soon as I mess with it.

 

That box was empty, for storage I guess. I looked under the seat, behind the battery I found a 20 fuse tucked away, put another in. Resnapped the connection I found under there also and blew some dirt out. Nothing. It has to be the switch for the lights or the bulb, that looks to be in perfect condition... I'm pretty sure that 20 fuse was for the headlights.

 

Ok found the real fuse box under the left fairn. Replaced the REAL 20 fuse for the headlights. Nothing... Took the switch apart and it looked perfect, wires looked fine in there. Only thing left is replacing the bulb, besides spraying WD40 in the switch. Didn't think it needed that...
