head lights acting funny

[samolia]

normally this wouldnt be that big of a deal cause i normally ride during the day but today i rod at night and i noticed that my headlight will flicker on and off but my tail light is fine, and if i smack my light switch or head light it will come back on i think i might have some funky wiring or something..
what you think

check the wires from the switch to the light. if its not that just buy yourself a cheap used switch off ebay or somthing.

i dont think its the switch because my rear light is on all the time with no problems

 

[djack12]

then check the wire from the switch to the headlight.

Maybe something came loose in your light housing itself....

souds to me likeasimpleelectrical connection problem. chase all the wires that come out of the handlebar switch and find their connection points. disconnect them one at a time and clean the connection area really good with a little steel wool and you should be all set.

withall that mud that you like to play in, its almost a given that you will eventually have electrical issues due to either the mud or corrosion
