Exclamation High Beam

I have some strange problem on my TTR600E 2005 when i am crusing over 60km/h and shift gear up then the signal in dashboard for high beam lights up and when i release the clutch it shuts down but not the headlight just this dasboard light.Netural light works normal and this only happening when i shift up not down and if i drive slow it does not happend.Ewerything looks normal and engine runs fine but this has started just yesterday both on Apshalt road and gravel road.Anyone here wich have or have been in same kind of problem because my eyes always starts to focus on dashboard when this is going on but i want to focus on what is in the front of my bike not the dashboard

Could be something simple along the lines of a shorting wire, perhaps within the headlight cowling? I suggest it is worth checking over the wiring loom for bad connections, chafed wires etc.

Well glad that is sorted out!
It is always worth thinking back on the lines of "what has changed to cause this problem?" when a problem appears.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
