Headlight Power Issue

[ccgroup]

I have an issue with my headlight. 95' model. I have power at the fuse but no power to the Hi/Low switch. It was intermittent and now nothing. New bulb. Continuity through the bulbs and instrument cluster.
Any suggestions?

You might want to try reconditioning the switch.

Agreed, the start button is probably sticking in a little bit. Just pull it out and you'll probably be good to go. A little lube will let it work easier too.

Thank you very much for the help. Exactly what it was, a sticky starter switch, i pulled it and the headlight came on. I will take it apart and clean it.
Much appreciated.
Thank you.

Cheers.

This reminds me of a story. My dad had this exact same issue last year with his '86. I told him how to fix it and he forwarded it to the Yamaha dealer as they wanted to order a new bulb.

Yamaha: "The headlight doesn't go out when you press the start button".
Dad (in his Mr Larson-like voice from Happy Gilmore): "I beg to differ......"

The Yamaha tech walked to his own Vmax and tried it. "Well I'll be God **@(@*(".

LoL

LOL, I am sure there are a lot of things he thinks he knows about his Vmax that he'd be Damned about.
