    Working ok this morning, way back home got signalled down by another biker saying lights where duff.

    Rear lights ok
    mirror day lights OK
    fuse ok
    High beam and normal dead.

    No work done on bike since the christmas

    Is there something obvious I'm missing

    Help!!

    Sometimes the starter button can cause a problem

    Yes, also the light fuse is shared by the starter so the turning the starter is a good check
