My '99 M2 blows the headlamp fuse at times and it seems to mostly occur when I first start up and get going and have the switch on high beam. Doesn't blow if I start the engine and ride a few miles on low beam and then switch to high beam. I have done the wiring harness wiggle drill and cannot make the fuse blow. One possibility I suppose could be the rectifier allowing too much output as a result of amps drawn and needing replenished from start up. Any other thoughts would be appreciated | ||

John Have you changed the lamp? Did the problem continue? Do you have to make sharp turns during the failure? Joe | ||

No pattern to the fuse blowing, that's what makes intermittent problems hard to diagnose. Haven't changed the bulb since it still works but it could be worth a try. | ||

I had a 90 softail blow its head light at random  It turned out to be the ground wire coming off the H-light making a bad ground. I used a heavy gauge wire and a good connector, No problem. I don't know were the M-2 head light ground but I'm sure it woundn't be hard too find. |
