Hi guys so i recently purchased a 1996 cbr 900rr only to find that the right hand light didnt work on dipped or full beam lights upon further inspection the right hand light only has 2 wires and left side has 3 wires iam presuming that only the dipped lights only work on left hand side and the right side only comes on with full lights i checked for feed to left hand side and power to connector when full lights are put on bulb is perfect i think its an earth problem just wondering has anyone had same problem any common places to look

 

Well, from what I can see in looking at the US model of the 1996 CBR 900RR, the headlights are wired together. In the US, they both have 3 wires going to them from the Headlight Relays. There is a Green wire, a Blue/Black wire, and a White/Black wire. It appears that the White/Black wire is the supply side for the low beam (what you call "dipped"), and the Blue/Black wire is the High Beam (full beam).

Can you tell if the wiring has been messed with? Does it look to be factory? Do you or anyone have a wiring diagram for a Dutch version of the 1996 model 900RR?

 

No mate the bike is factory all original wiring from what i can see the left hand connector has all 3 wires and the right hand side has just a green wire and the one for high beam

 

Most lighting issues are related to poor connections. Without a wiring diagram, it's hard to identify what connections are involved. Maybe a local dealer could print one for you.
