After almost two years and 15,000 km I managed to drop the bike.
It was raining, poor visibility, I was a bit too fast and slid out of a sharp turn.
Fortunately I didn't hit anything and ended up in the wet grass on the right side.
I had it under control when at the last moment the front went out at slow speed and the bike slid maybe a couple of feet.
The bike looked okay, the turn signal was hanging on its wires and the foot brake pedal was bent outwards, but apart from that there were only a few scratches on the plastics.
It started right up and it rode okay like nothing happened, just a slow speed tip over.
At home I saw that where the cowl meets the black piece close to the headlight there was a tiny crack, maybe two inches.
I replaced the cowl, the lower black plastic piece, the turn signal and the brake pedal and all was well until I discovered that both headlights weren't working.
The little center running light worked, the turn signals, too, but both beams were out.
I checked the bulbs, they are okay. The fuse is also good.
Could it be the right switch cluster?
I noticed some small black gizmo when I had the side cowl off, close to the tank, close to where the cowl cracked.
Any idea what that is?
I'll have the bike checked out but I'd like to know as soon as possible what it could be.
