Headlight & Taillight

Post by Arcticcat440snopro »

Headlight and taillight dont work. When i have the bike running, they still dont work, and everything else does.. so what could be the problem.

Tail is on the battery, bad wiring/bulb. Headlight is directly coupled to the stator, tests the bulb and see if its getting power.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Time to get that multimeter out of the toolbox and start troubleshooting.
