I was out of town for a period of time and asked a friend to start my bike once a week...

It didn’t start so he decided to “do me a favor” and jumped the bike from his car battery.

I came home and the battery was again dead and so I replaced it. All is well except my headlights don’t work. The high beam blue indicator will come one when the switch is flipped and all of the turn signals work.

I checked the 2 fuse boxes under the seat and those all are fine.

I do have aftermarket HID headlights (high and low),dealership installed, but I don’t think it is that system (or ballast) itself as it would be very odd for both to go out simultaneously, especially given the fact that they worked before this.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Troy

Possible relay that keeps the h/l's off so the battery is not strained from starting, then the relay kicks in, turns the lights on. Say you find the two relays that hang on the front fairing mount somewhere, swap the relays. Next is to hand-hot the bulbs remotely so you eliminate any burned out filament(s).

Hand-hot is just saying to run a (+)wire off the battery that goes to the one bulb side of the 3 prongs, then ground the other prong. However, if just one hot wire is used to touch a prong and the other is ground from the plug anyway. This way you can hot the other prong and see if that filament is working too, but do not touch the ground, which would be a direct short to ground if hot hits the ground prong, meaning.
