i took a look at the bike tonight and noticed someone has done the mod where the lights are linked, so that when high beam is on both dip and high beam come on. I thought the bulb had blown, so changed it and it seemed to work.. However on closer inspection the original bulb was fine. The reflector isnt fixed in position because the 8mm nut with cross head' for adjusting headlight beam' isn't being held by the plastic surround ie.. it goes straight through the hole. I tried to loosen it to put a washer behind it, so that the reflector couldn't move, but it just seemed to keep turning. Because the reflector isn't secure if i hold it in correct position the light stays on, but when i let it go the bulb goes out? I presume the reflector has to be earthed against something?
If it's broken, it's not fixed.
