12 weeks?!
did they get lost?!
ours got here in about 6 - even before our boxes did!
almost failed a WOF last week 'cos the high beam 'warning' bulb was blown.
(replaced it with the neutral one to get the WOF)
(it's ok tho', found a spare bulb at home, so it's all 'legal')
so yeh, it'd pay to have it sorted..
(it's gone in today tho', hasn't it?)
oh well... hope it went well!

Say hello to my little friend
My old CBR250 used to have the park, low and high options but my VTR only has high and low, I don't know whats involved in a compliance check but if it's the same as a warrent then they should check for both high and low beam

My ancient moto guzzi has;
Hazard lights (waste of time - the whole bike is a hazard),
Park (horrid little lamp that always falls out of the lamp unit),
Low beam (quite useful for alerting motorists) and
High beam which is really quite good and annoying people and flattening the battery.
My Triumph has ;
Low beam so dim that it can only be seen on moonless nights
High beam that dribbles off the lens, onto the front wheel and dies gasping 3 feet in front of the bike.
I plan to do something about the Triumph.

It failed on the high beam not working, to go for a retest, asked what was involved in a retest and was told just bring it in anytime and show us the light is working.
Does anyone know of any guys who are good with bike(ducati) electrics, as I have changed the bulb checked the wires and still no joy!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, forgot how good it was to be out taking it to the testing station today.
Thanks

If someone passes you he is a nutter and you expect to pick him off the blacktop round the next corner, if you pass someone they are a slow and have all the gear and no idea
Azzurro!
That sucks...
Have you tried pulling the switch componentry apart and giving it a clean/spray?
If it works on the other two settings, it could just be a 'dirty' connection on the high beam setting....?

pretending to give a fuck...
Check your ignition switch, you can turn it anti-clockwise past 'lock' to switch the park lights on.
My GSX-R has hazard lights...... must be cause I'm 'flash'....
It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

Nah, just checked mine today and no park light option and I looked everywhere! Is your gixxer American (or other market) new as it would seem the hazard light option is from another country. As far as I know NZ new gixxers don't come with them. Perhaps that explains why you've got a park light option.
