Bigjohn6886 Posted June 19, 2009 #1 Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) heres the deal I recently went down on my 98 royal star I hit some gravel on a turn going about 15-20 mph walked away with scuffed up boot hole in my jacket nice scratch on my helmet no personal body damage the bike suffered scratched mirror nice scratched saddle bag guard & broken r side passing lamp i order a new passing lamp 4 r side installed it with no problem but the passing lights wont come on even when i toggle the switch no passing lights. The head light works & all of the turn signals work fine. when the passing lights did work if you turned on the high beam the passing light would come off the dealer installed them that way i know guys say this not the way to install them but it didnt bother me. Im confused & dont want to have to go to the dealer for this. Any help would really great Edited June 20, 2009 by Bigjohn6886
Yammer Dan Posted June 19, 2009 #2 Posted June 19, 2009 I'm not much on electrics but am sure you will find some help here. Just wanted to say I'm glad you walked away from that one. Good luck with the Scoot.

Yammer Dan Posted June 20, 2009 #4 Posted June 20, 2009 It can really shake you sometimes, but if thats all it does thank the "Man" it could be a lot worse real easy. I've had a lot of scares and some bad ones but they keep things interesting. Ride Safe!!
GunnyButch Posted June 20, 2009 #5 Posted June 20, 2009 Check the switch for a fuse. The Yamaha install shows there is an inline fuse between the switch and the hotwire connection. Good luck.
Freebird Posted June 20, 2009 #6 Posted June 20, 2009 I agree. If you damaged that passing light, it may have well skinned a wire and blew the fuse. All that I've ever seen came with an inline fuse.
Bigjohn6886 Posted June 20, 2009 Author #8 Posted June 20, 2009 well guys it was the fuse :pi went to dealer to find out where was the fuse he said in the head light i open up the head light checked the fuse presto the fuse was blown i put in new fuse bingo i have passing lights thanks guys for all the input:D
