Something is up with my NT, wondering if you guys have any ideas.
The bike has this habit of occasionally losing the headlamp. The entire headlamp, both low and high beams, will suddenly stop working. It happens intermittently, and when it does, the "high beam" light on the instrument cluster will turn off regardless if the switch is set to high beams or not. After a while (and not overtly related to whether or not I go over a bump), it'll pop back on, and the lamp will work again (and if the high beam is on, the high beam light will re-activate).
Obviously this happens at inconvenient moments (e.g., on the freeway at night).
I had it at a shop after I noticed the behavior initially, and they "fixed it", but did not indicate how. I'm not sure what could be causing this - possibly a short or a bad connector somewhere? I have checked most all of the connections I can reach without tearing the bike down and found no loose connections.
Any ideas what it might be? Could it just be a short in teh wiring harness (which is not exactly an easy fix, but, you know what I mean). Is there a connector I should be looking at and verifying is seated well? What could cause it to occasionally stop operating like that?
