Low Beam off

[markowinnipeg]

Just wondering if this is a common problem, noticed today that my low beam was off. High beam worked but I had to switch it on and off a few times to get the low beam to come on.
I am thinking switch, will take it about and spray with electrical contact cleaner.

First I've heard of it.

The contact points in the switches can often get dirty or grimy and will stop working. I've had to do this several times with things like my horn switch, turn signals, high beam switch, etc. My bikes sit outside often and this is the result of rain and dust and road grime and bird turds and so on

I just take them apart, clean them up and apply some dielectric grease to the contacts. It's always done the trick

Thanks guess just add it to the weekend work list.
Was hoping it to be a at home fix it item so that it leaves me cash to buy the holeshot header that I have been contemplating.

so cleaned the switch and then checked the switch on high beam power to yellow wire on low no.power. So it seems not to be switch can someone tell me were the relay is for low beam as I.am thinking that is the problem.
thanks
