Default Headlight Help

Well I was starting the bike up last night and noticed the headlights were off, so I messed with the switch and only the lowbeams came on. When I switch to Highbeams I get nothing. Thought it could be a blown bulb so I switched them out, Still nothing. Checked the fuses, Nothing.

Anyone have any suggestions before I start tearing apart the bike to figure whats wrong? Bad switch maybe?

Thanks

break out your maintance book and check out the wiring diagram. you are going to wanna check anywhere there is a switch or a circuit. on my honda one of the soders in the kill switch (which the headlight is ran through) broke and it took me forever to figure out it was there. so look for a loose wire there.

Look at the wire harness where your main harness plugs into your front harness. The connector could be fried. If it is, cut the wires and jump the connector.
