Default CBR F4I HEADHIGHT PLZ HELP!

When I start my bike only one side of the headlight comes on, but when I actually turn on the light switch both lights come on. I checked the fuse and everything and there's nothing wrong with it. I'm riding with one light on in the day time, it looks pretty weird. Please help.

Um.. call me crazy but isn't 'the light switch' for your highbeams? You're lowbeams should turn on as soon as you start your engine and you can toggle your highbeams on and off with 'the light switch'. Basically.. it's working as designed. One side stays on at all times (lowbeams) and the other side turns on as highbeams. I could be wrong.. but I'm usually not.

So you're saying that the light are working as they should? Only one light comes when you ride and the light swtich is for highbeam? Sorry for being such a noob but i just got the bike recently so i don't know how it works.

werd, F4is only have one low beam, and one high beam. Luckily the low beam stays on with the high beam.
