NC35 Low Beam not working......help please!

Post by stu » Tue Sep 16, 2008 11:02 am

My low beam isn't working on my RVF. The high beam still works though.

I have checked the bulbs and both elements are fine. ANyone have any ideas as the MOT is due soon and I need to get this fixed. Is there a low beam relay in the wiring?

All your help is very much appriciated. Thanks!

It's a common failing and normally it's the switch.

UK NC30's had a low-beam relay, none of the others did. Some add in a low-beam relay to prevent the switch melting with higher wattage bulbs.

As druid said. The Jap bikes had 35watt low beam bulbs, if you use the 55watt uk ones it tends to melt the switch without a relay. A google search will bring up all the info you need.
