Default Headlight fuse?

I have a 2002 f4i. Is there a seperate headlight fuse? My headlight is not working...a couple days ago the headlight would come on after I redlined the bike; now nothing. THe fuse under the seat is fine. Not sure if there is a headlight fuse?

Thanks

No, the only fuse for the headlight is under the seat. Download a PDF service manual for the bike and test all the components of the headlight. Have you tried replacing bulbs? Checked connections for bulbs?

Open up the starter button (2 screws on bottom) and check the solder connections in there. F4is are notorious for having those connections come loose. headlight wires are routed through the switch to disable the headlights when the starter is pressed to give more power to the starter.

Easy fix with a fine tip solder gun and a steady hand.

Check the bulbs and all the wires and connections I had my headlights go out last year I had to replace the headlight relay which is behind the headlights and I had to replace the start/kill switch the connections there were too messed up to re solder
