Re: Headlamp not working

Hello Guys, So I called the local dealership(Scotland) and explained the fault that I am having with the full beam and flash function.

Headlamp not working

Hello Guys,


On my 2012 R1200RT full beam and flash has stopped working.


There was no warning illuminated in the display area to indicate that a lamp was out.


I changed the bulb anyway, but its still not working.


Any thoughts or advice on finding the fault???


Chris....
