Hi there,

Proudly say I'm a new owner of a 801 and love it! Fell in love with the 401 and blind purchased the last 801 in my state brand new.

Bike has been running perfectly, only done 200km on it.

One thing that has popped up, low beam(standard headlight) has somehow faulted? Or not turning on? High beam works perfectly fine and the semi ring light is still on.

This morning I went for a ride and started the bike and then nudged the throttle the other way by accident and low beam literally turned on. Then lasted till I powered the bike off again after going for a ride and then went back to not being on after start up.

Battery voltage is all in the green. Only assumption is a loose connection????

I'm posting this on a Sunday, no mechanics open so thought I'd post here in the hopes that someone has had a similar issue and knows a fix, otherwise I'll take it to my mechanic tomorrow morning.
 
It may be the DRL system. If there is enough light only the ring will turn on. When there is less light the low beam turns on. Try to check if in a dark space or at night it works. It should be automatic.
 
That's what I thought, but I've had it turned on during evening rides and it doesn't light up, turned on in pitch black garage, only ring light.

Perhaps the DRL system itself is faulting?

Does the intensity of the ring change? What I would try is to block the sensor with your hand and check if the low beam starts or if the intensity of the ring light decreases. If that happens the DRL sensor is working and it is maybe a problem with the low beam led light.
