`Cause it happens often; check that you haven't accidentally swapped some dark green and black wire connectors in the headlight bucket.
For those thinking of removing the RLU - A quick way to make a jumper is to take a female spade connector and expand it slightly with longnose pliers, trim off the crimp end, put some heat shrink over the connector and it will securely bridge the two pins on the RLU harness socket.

The exact same thing happened on my switch when I first started up the bike last month, I reckon the plastic they used for them is giving up with age and fatigue, be interesting to see how your repair goes Mbx.Switching from lo to hi and back a few times and then suddenly the hi lo switch breaks off and is in my hand!
What next!???
motorbikerx if the dip switch and the high beam indicator are backwards you need one more round of moving wires in the headlight plug.
I think it's impossible to have too many earths. The more the merrier... I'm addin' extra grounds (earths) to mine as we speak.thinking of running a seperate earth from the earth points inside the shell to the frame of the bike.
What say the experts?
Chris,my headlights gone dull again.
It does have an RLU yes..and you mustve replied before my edit came through I thinkChris,
does your bike have the Reserve Lighting Unit?
Feel free to "clutter" Chris. I run a pretty loose ship on my thread. The stalks are just finger tight. I'm basically makin' a "ground harness" where everything will get grounded. Just haven't finished it yet.......was gonna comment but didnt wanna clutter your thread with my stuff
