Subject: CB400f (400 four) electrics - lighting

Hi, i know i should be adding this in the cbfours page, but i cant seem to add a new topic there. anyway.

I have the most strangest thing with my headlights, the low beam setting is set to high, and high beam is set to low.

i find these to have funny electrics, as the last time this happened to me was when i took the headlight bowl off for painting, and put one of the wires back wrong, and same happened then.

when this happened last night, i played about with the wires, making sure they're all conected correctly, checked it again, and it worked a treat, popped it back, and last thing before i left the garage was to check it once more, and it reverted back to incorrect again, so one last fiddle and made no difference, so basicly gave up.

now the simple answer would be to swap the wires over in the headlight and cure it that way, but we all know a short cut like that isn't always a good way - and that there is a reason for its being.

ironicly my friends TLR200 has the same problem, but since we were going for a 3 week off roading stint, i swapped it over as a tempory job.

nothing in the diagrams shows anything to suguest it to happen, and it doesnt rightly make any sense. i have experience with electrics and build all my looms, for all my british bikes (9 in total british), with out fail or problem, yet these overly complicated japanise have me beat.

many thanks
