Exterior Lighting · at 58,000 miles · reported Aug 19, 2016
Bike lost headlights (Again). I've had electrical fixes under recall and this continues. Had ignition replaced, ground fault work done, entire wiring harness replaced and now it has left me stranded again without lights. This is a dangerous situation to lose your headlights.

I commute on my motorcycle nearly every day throughout the year. This is the reason I have a motorcycle. My work start time is at 5:30am so I commute to work in the dark year round.

Riding in western virginia, on a warm saturday afternoon, I noticed my turn signal indicator lights were both on, and flashed weirdly when I used them. I also lost the electric adjustable windshield, and discovered when I stopped that I had no headlights. This was painful because the ride I was on involved a lot of night time riding. Luckily this happened during the day and I was able to use my auxiliary lights that night. Upon dis-assembly, a ground spider (S6) under the nose of the bike, not covered or inspected by the current recall was burned to a crisp. This would have been really bad had…
