Default No headlight

I was riding back to my dorm the other day and noticed my high beam light wasnt on even though my lights were switched to high. I leaned out over the front and, sure enough, I didn't have any lights. I've got an Acerbis Cyclops and they went out once over the summer and it turned out to only be a blown fuse, no biggie. I put a higher wattage bulb in a few months ago, if that matters. I've checked my fuses and where I wired it up and everything looks good, so why dont I have any lights!?!

not sure if the f4i is the same with the f3, but mine went out and i traced it back to a solder connection came loose on the start switch

Hopefully I'll be able to really look everything over later and come back with more info...

That could be anything from a loose connection to a blown bulb. Check all your connection points. Soldering or male,female connectors are the way to go!

Yeah, I'm going to check my wiring more. I doubt its a bulb though, cause why would one blown bulb knock out my entire headlight?

your starter switch might be sticking. try pulling it out after you start the bike.

Haha, I wish it were that simple. My starter has been sticking since I got the bike (and it did on my old F4i too) so I'm used to that. I ended up dropping it off at my friends dads cycle shop. He's cool enough to hook me up with cheap/free labor when I need it, plus business is pretty slow right now so he could get me in asap.
