Anyone willing to take a stab at why a nt700v headlight would not be working (low nor high beam)? Also, is it hard to get to the blub to change it.
Last, if blub is ok (guess one can still tell if bad by looking at the bulb once removed) what might be the next step to trouble shoot the issue?

Hate to buy the used bike and spend yet another $300 +/- to get the headlight working.

Headlight relay would the first place I look since neither low or high beam is working. Check the manual (available on this forum) to see if there's a fuse.
 
In the starter button, somewhere in that system line is the problem. When you press the starter button, the headlight goes out so power goes to starter. Just can't remember specifically what to look for. The headlight bulbs are halogen unless been changed out by previous owner to LED. so you can see filaments to see if broken. But it's in starter switch, cause both bulbs not working.

You can get in there, back side of bulbs. Rubber cover, then a wire spring like assembly holds bulb flange in place
