Test the molex to the headlights with your meter. Prove to yourself that the relay is actually giving you voltage to the high beams.

edit: Or not

 

Molex?? lol not sure what that is lol but I will test the relay with a meter and see if it is puttin out voltage on the highbeams, I know that when I hit the switch it clicks and the highbeam indicator comes on but no highbeams? could it be in the switch itself, or do you think that it could be in the wiring some where? but I will test the relay tomorrow and see what I come up with and let you know, Thanks

 

A Molex is a milti pin connector plug that was invented by Molex corp. Almost everyone refers to it as a "Molex connector/plug". Try pulling the plug off the bulb, and checking the voltage there.Also if you have a analog meter (Isay analog becausea lot of digital meters aren't fast enough to read)you could just hit the turn signal, and check which wire is hot for each side, and the break light the same way. The only one that should be hot all the time is the rear light itself, all the other ones are switched power, so you can test them by hitting the switches and looking for voltage. O, just had another thought you could justget aDCsocket, and bulb, and test the wires with that. When it lights up, that's what circuit your on.

 

oops, thanks for the clarification shino.

 

thanks for all of the help guys, I have the taillight figured out now I just gotta find the source of the problem for the highbeams, Ive got a friend coming down tomorrow that is pretty mech. inclind, more so than myself especially when it comes to motorcycles. I will keep you all posted on the progress. Dale

 

hey just read this thread today. good luck with teh wiring the only thing i would suggest is to test all the wires make sure they are all working if they are it could just be a bulb

 

It was the relay for the highbeams so now I just need to buy one. Thanks for all of the input guys it has really helped

 

You guys have been a great help, I think now though that the signal relay is bad so Im slowly getting it back on the level it should be. The wiring on the bike has been hacked into but I believe that Im going to replace the harness this winter while Im not riding the bike so I can get rid of the gremlins in the wiring.

 

right on sfgpgt, good luck then with gettin' er done!

 

I got what I expected when I bought the bike though, I was looking for something to tinker with but was also rideable at the same time, I do have another ? what tires do you guys recomend cause I need a new rear meat
