Title: how do you fix the broken hi-beam button?
Post by: seanster on July 12, 2012, 07:07:11 AM
Hi my bike is 2000 M750 and the hi-beam button isn't working.

This happen before, then I took it apart, bended the little bronze tab inside the switch to get contact.

Did the same this time but it's not working.  Any thoughts?

Thanks!

wires are solid good...the switch is good.

it seems like there is no contact when I push the button to hold it at hi-beam.  Bending the bronze tab wouldn't do it this time around.

Maybe the high beam filament is burned out.

Get a multi-meter and start testing things.

I love it when someone else has the same problem with their bike and gets help before I even have to ask!
Also thankful for all the crusty experienced guys on here with the time, tools, and know-how to help with my lack of all three.
