Default Headlight just quit

I have a 200 F4 and I turned my bike on today and no light. I put a new bulb in didnt work so i tested the light and it was good. I tested the plug and it says there is juice coming through. My question is where do I look next? I changed all fuses and checked wires also nothing pinched or bad. Thanx in advance..

If you have power to the bulb, there is no where else to check. The connection between the bulb and the plug must be bad. Make sure the tab inside the plug itself is seated all the way. If the tab is loose, it will not make connection to the bulb.

How did you check the power to the bulb?
Did you use the ground on the plug?
Make sure the ground is good too.

I used a volt meter it it came back with juice. Ya I used the ground on the plug also. The tabs inside the plug are really loose thought
