JerryK Posted July 19, 2013 #1 Posted July 19, 2013 I just got home and pulled into my dark garage and I have no lights! It wasn't quite dark yet but I was shocked.....Head light,driving lights and tail light are all out!
N3FOL Posted July 19, 2013 #2 Posted July 19, 2013 Did you do any wiring installation lately? If so, wires could be kinked and/or shorted causing a fuse to blow.
bongobobny Posted July 19, 2013 #3 Posted July 19, 2013 Yup! Your headlight fuse is under the left side cover under your seat...
wes0778 Posted July 19, 2013 #4 Posted July 19, 2013 That's why my headlight and passing lights are on two DIFFERENT circuits!!!
Pegasus1300 Posted July 19, 2013 #5 Posted July 19, 2013 Are your driving lights wired up as per Yamaha's directions? If so they will take out the lights. You need to replace the fuse under the seat behind the left side cover. Then take and wire the power wire thru a relay to operate the Driving lights. I also removed the driving lights from the headlight circuit and put them on their own on/off switch. If you look in the tech section you will find directions on how to do this.
TDunc Posted July 19, 2013 #6 Posted July 19, 2013 Just as a jump start, my problem like this turned out to be two different things. 1) A wire behind the passing lights was touching the bucket. Fixed by bending the tab slightly and re-taping the junction. 2) Where the wire bundle goes back up to the faring from the forks, if it is too loose, the bundle got between the fork stop and the tab when turning the bike against the stops. I used a harder wire bundle wrap (spiral wrap) to keep the bundle together and then made sure it was positioned up out of the way. Hope this helps
JerryK Posted July 19, 2013 Author #7 Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks I know where to look and I have pinched the running light wires in the past when putting them back up in position after having the fairing apart. I need the part that someone on here makes to relocate running light bracket so you don't have to take it loose to split the fairing. Who makes them I need one?

Caused me grief for 3yrs, off and on.
JerryK Posted August 3, 2013 Author #9 Posted August 3, 2013 It was a fuse but a very weird looking deal! The fuse didn't appear to be blown but under a real bright light it had what I would call a crack in the fuse wire and not blown. Very thin and I swear it was cracked and not blown.
