Strange fault that may have a simple solution
new to me 2008 motoguzzi sport 1200 4v (2v) I didn't check all the lights when purchased ( my own fault) On starting the bike the side ( front) and rear lights are on dip headlamp comes on only when the main light switch is put on. so I have no main beam. This bike had an extensive strip /rebuild just before I bought it it may just be a wire plugged in incorrectly? ? I shall open the headlamp and Check connections check fuses Anything else to check? Main bulb looks ok (not burnt) But I will check I'll update later Pics below show how far the bike was stripped for its cosmetic refurb plus suspension mods Yes that's why I bought it, it's very very nice Edited by magwa - 18 Apr 2017 at 15:37 |

pop off headlamp check power to the actual bulb may be just plugged up wrong if you are lucky
