Funny story(not really). 18,000 miles on my 1125R, and I catch a rock, breaks belt, no problem I am 1 mile from my house, oh and I must tell u, there is a large enough hill between where I am and my house, so pushing it home was not an option. Luckily my wife is off work this day, she brings my truck, 2 ramps and tiedowns. Wife could not help get bike on the truck. Some cool dude stopped and helped, thanks whoever you are! I have had many, too many broken bikes on my truck, so the tiedown broke, bike fell off the back. | ||

So anyway my highbeams will not turn off, I must have a pinched wire somewhere. Upper fairing support, right handlebar, belt and plastic engine cover...$358 total. FYI..I was at a stop sign when it fell off, I was not in motion. Any other thoughts on the issue??? | ||

How fast where u going? I was switching from 1st into 2nd, I didn't even know it happened 4 a few seconds because I was coasting. | ||

80 mph. trying to get around rush hour traffic. | ||

pinched wire b4 or after bike committed suicide? just kidding? does hi-beam switch function normally? or at least appear to be. | ||

Ok, a couple other questions. Ur new belt, 145 tooth? Mine was so tight I thought I was going to break something, like the belt, to much stress on bearings, something. Have about 800 miles on it now, still kinda tight. Also, do u have an aftermarket spring loaded belt tentioner? | ||

Lol, jumper! Highbeams slightly flicker if u hit the switch. So right now all 4 r on. | ||

Sorry..it started after the fall. | ||
| Kickstand76 |
ya, i noticed it was freakin tight. i believe the box said 145 tooth. i kept part tag. all parts are stock. quite certain it said 145 | ||
| Kickstand76 |
and yes it is new. | ||
| Kickstand76 |
it being new, that wasnt part of the question, was it? sorry. been up since 4am | ||
| Raykynclaw |
Oh man! Go to bed. I am, 9am ride with the guys tomorrow. Thanks for the info! | ||

insomniac here. thanks to army. was thinking your switch housing is f'ed up. circuit may be closed. or pinched wires. doesnt sound like it could be much else. |
