Default Headlight problems.

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to this forum and new to riding. I have a 125r as my first bike which i have had for about 12 months. recently noticed that when im riding at around 5-6000rpm the headlights are flickering to the point that it feels like the lights are cutting out but then come back on once i ease off the throttle. It sometimes just cuts out the left light but sometimes cuts out both lights.

Anybody have any ideas on where to start looking for the fault? I have looked through the workshop manual but couldnt find anything to help sort this out.

Many thanks.

I'd check your connections. Is it only at those rpms?I suppose it COULD be the R/R, but I doubt that.

Thanks CorruptFile,

I'll check the connections throughout the whole wiring system. I have checked the connectors to the light bulbs and they seem to be well snug fitted. Is there any components i should check?

Yes, it only happens above 5-6000 rpm.

Im no mechanic but i have good common sense. I just dont know how the lights are all wired up and what components are needed. I guess i'll have to study the workshop book.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.
