Greetings,
Thank you in advance for everyones help. I have been registered and lurking for a couple of minths now since i got my 1997 1500 SE. It only has 37K, but was not very well cared for in its previous life. So, I am fixing little thing here and there and hopefully it will be "done" by June.
This site has some great information and I have been able to get all my questions answered here and/or in the manuals. However, I have a problem that I cannot find a topic by searching, so here goes.
Got the bike out this morning after not riding it for a few days (everything worked properly last ride) and as I was driving down my lane, i noticed the headlight wasnt on. So, i stopped and flicked the beam switch and couldnt get it to come on. Well, 630 in the morning and heading for work is not the time to devote too much time to the problem. I put the bike in reverse to turn around and the headlight came on. It seems like some kind of connection in the reverse lever/reverse button is malfunctioning. Has anyone had this happen before? Thanks so much. I hope that with some more experience, I will be able to contribute.
Cliffnotes: headlight only comes on with the reverse lever in the reverse position.
Eric
