Default Right headlight out, normal?

What's up guys, just bought an 03 f4i with 4.9k on the clock. I've noticed other cbrs doing this so idk if it's normal or what but if the headlight switch isn't on 'bright' only left headlight shows. Is this normal?

Get used to having people constantly telling you that you have a headlight out...

shouldn't give you a problem. bikes are only required to have 1 headlamp on, but i'm sure they know that that's the way it's supposed to be.

What people have said to us riders day-in & day-out would fill a book (or ten). ;-)

It is kind of silly looking only having the one light on. Kind of looks like the bike is winking. I usually ride with brights on all the time just to me more noticeable to all the crazy California drivers with cell phones glued to their faces.

Try having a bike with 2 differently shaped headlights. I DO tell ppl "she's winking at ya"
