has any one ever had an issue with your headlight burning out on a repeated basis ? you relamp and works ok, until you rev up a couple times.
can it be a voltage regulator?

That is what feeds it!javawind said:
ok, I know that, but, have you an answer as towhat may be the cause of the lamp burn out?
headlamp
its the voltage regulator, if you check voltage at bulb plug it should go up with rpm then drop and stay constant around 3 or 4ooo rpm

Ok, I follow what you are saying. the vdc should then be 12vdc +/-?? at any any rpm?
also, to replace the regulator, do I need to remove the shroud, or is it simply a matter of "fishing" it through gap?

voltage should be around 12.5 at idle and go up around 14.5 then drop lower when voltageregulator kicks in, i think its down by foot rest.
replaced the regulator and no joy, vdc at headlamp connecor is upwards of 20vdc!!
I'm giving up and going to the "pros", all does not make sense, one would think I would see other issues with remaining lights, but all ok, tail light is fine, instrument lights ok
not sure what to make of it..... possible main harness ??

u sure u replaced the voltage regulator and not the rectifier? also tehres a condensor up by the head light. im not sure exsacly what it does but i think it smoths out teh power up there.
Yes I'm sure I replaced the regulator, got the IPC p/n from Yamaha, also, I believe the condenser has more to do with ignition than for lights
OK, I fixed it!!, the SXR has both a Voltage Regulator & a "Rectifier-regulator", the fault ended up residing in the "Rectifier-regulator", I was on the right track, however i did not think the rectifier would be at fault, thinking it was just a rectifier.
