Busted Headlight?

[chinox22x]

Ok, this is weird...the headlight was working fine 3 weeks ago last time i rode. But now it only lights up when its on High Beam.  

also, my right rear turn signal i took off and i don't recall if the headlight was working then...could that have something to do with it?  These lights don't happen to be on a parallel series are they?

The low beam filament is burned out on the head lamp bulb.

It don't think it is anything to do with the rear-end lighting. If the US light is the same as the European one, and i believe it is, there is one bulb (or lamp) with two filaments for Hi / Lo so either the Lo filament has "gone" or it's something in the switching. Obvious first then you may find this handy.

fudgeeeeeee!! are you serious?  how hard is it to replace?  and what bulb do i need?

Haven't seen how the F headlamp is made but if it is like other Suzuki's faired bikes, easy to replace.

Should be a H4 bulb (not sure of the wattage but probably 60/55). Covered by a rubber boot. A retaining spring holds in the bulb. A 2 minute fix.
