Strange high beam indicator
« on: January 09, 2008, 05:03:07 PM »
Hi, I just noticed that my high beam indicator light behaves strangely.

1. When I just turn on the key and switch the headlight to "High", the high beam indicator light is on.
2. With the high beam on, when I accelerate to a certain speed, the indicator light begins to fluctuate, then turns off if I ride faster.
3. With the high beam on,  when I decelerate to a certain speed, it fluctuates again and turns on if I ride slower.

It seems like the high beam indicator light is on only below certain speed. Is something wrong, or is it a feature?

Thanks!

Sounds like you have an intermittent problem. Check the wires.

You are right. It turned out to be a bulb going bad. Thanks!
