I have a 2007 Wee non abs with 73,000 miles. My high beams failed on the way home last night. I noticed something odd about the behavior of the hi beams when switching them on: they'd delay a split second before turning on after I flicked the switch to the on position. After a couple more cycles on and off to accomodate oncoming traffic (in which this odd delay did not occur) they delayed once again, then the next switching attempt failed completely. No amount of flicking the switch on and off could coax them to turn on.
Low beams work fine.
This kind of progressive failure has me stumped. Where should I start the diagnosis? Fuses? Switches? Connectors? All the above?
I have the Eastern Beaver relay kit installed, it has functioned flawlessly since day 1. I have had the starter switch replaced, and it hasn't given me any trouble since. I recently replaced one of the headlight bulbs, and double checked the bulb and relay connections to make sure they are good and tight. Bulbs are stock, all electricals on bike (cept the EB relay and my Givi tailcase light) are completely stock. The battery is OEM original (never been replaced).
I did a brief search on this forum and couldn't find anyone having trouble with high beams ONLY on BOTH their bulbs at the same time. Doesn't make sense they'd both be burned out at once, especialy considering at least one of the bulbs is less than 3 mos old.
Weirdness! Help! (and thanks in advance!)
