Glorian Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Riding to work this morning in the dark at 6am, light flickers think nothing of it. go down a dark road no street lights, dipped light cuts out. stop and check it by flicking on and off. dipped won't come on at all! Had to ride to work on my full beams this morning just to make sure people could see me.Any ideas how/what to check or shall i ring the dealer see if they can help? Have to ride home at 4pm where its half dusk so could probably make do if i zoom home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Old Git Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 the low beam filament will be on the way out!just fit a new lamp (you plant bulbs in the garden! ) Lamps are what miners use down t'pit - Light Bulb is what I was reffering to (and before you say it - a snowdrop bulb is lighter than a tulip bulb - on average ).Anyway - The problem was fixed.
