need help with my direct bikes 125cc cobra (someone reply please)

[benbarra2005]

Hi, ok so I think the electrics in my bike are failing sometimes my left indicator doesn't work and only works if you turn the right one on then quickly switch over to left but sometimes it works perfectly fine and theirs no need to do that which is confusing. anyways that was a minor problem and didn't bother me for weeks but now my rear headlight is no longer working and it isn't a bad bulb as my brake light still works and its the same bulb. I also noticed one of my front headlights went off but next day it was working again. I know this most likely doesn't make sense but I've only recently bought my first bike 1-2 month ago and I'm clueless and need answers asap. thanks

Take it back to the dealer under the warranty assuming you bought it from a dealer, otherwise take it to  someone who knows about bike electrics. One thing I would do though would be to check all the earth connections for corrosion and loose wires, including the battery terminals.

Brake and sidelight/running light may be same bulb but it will have dual filament so the bulb could be faulty.

I was thinking the same thing as Bender, two filament in one bulb (one bulb does two jobs) does save space and especially cost but rarely better for it, honda 125cbf and many others including 600s has the same design.

on the switch it could be the contact in the switch itself, if you use a electrical spray and give it a good spray to clean the inside. Best to to open it up carefully and give it a thorough clean and see it any the parts have become displaced.

Open it up if ur desperate, out of warranty but most important competent to do it ill add.

 

On the headlight bulb, it might just be connection issues, if the bulb or connector block moved slightly from a bump it altered contact but when riding it over a bump again but it back into place.
