On the last day of a 9000km trip I found myself without headlights. The eyebrow lamps still worked, but no head or cornering lamps.

The dealer had the bike for sometime and finally discovered a loose pin in a connector in the "headlight sub-wire harness".

I am told that all the troubleshooting steps performed by the tech indicated a failed headlight assembly; the loose pin was discovered while the tech was doing 'one last test' and wiggled the connector. To his surprise the headlights lit.

The bike has approx. 62,000 kms, about 38,500 miles.
