Dead high beam dashboard indicator

[spock]

Hello everybody

When taking my 2008 naked FZ6 for a spin this past weekend I noticed the high beam led indicator is not working, but the light is

Any advice for checking/replacing it?

Regards.

I am also curious about this. Mine isn't dead but has a short in it somewhere. Occasionally after going over a bump the light will work properly until another bump. I never bothered to take the cluster apart to get in there to find it; I didn't want to risk it not sealing properly afterward since I ride in the rain fairly often.

I'm jealous. I hate those stupid blue indicators. Wish mine would go away! lol

If you check for a single black/white(it's in a sleeve) wire on the throttle side of the steerer-tube,there's also a connector there.The wire has come away from the connector(my guess...it happened to me):thumbup:

Thanks Nobby

I will check that this weekend and will let you know the results.

Wow, there's actually a separate wire for that indicator? I wonder if the '06 and older bikes are the same. I'll have to take a peek tomorrow. Hmmmm.......

So how'd you go

Just had the time this weekend to deal with the problem, I also changed the main bulb for the wonderful Osram H4 all season, pretty nice light for every condition.

Exactly the same problem as you

The wire got away from the connector as well, exactly the one that comes from the controls cluster on the left, so I joined it again and it's working flawlessly again

Thanks a lot buddy:thumbup:
