1981 KZ750 No Headlight Help

Hey guys Anthony here,

So my headlamp went out on me the other day and didn't notice it until I was at a gas station getting gas because it's simply always on.

I took out the bulb and it was in fact blown.

After installing the new bulb I still have nothing.

I'm assuming it has a fuse box I just haven't hunted for it yet.

Every single light on the bike works besides my high and low beam headlamp. Signals,fourways, brakes, neutral, fuel/stop there all good. But I do have a few bulbs out on my Speedo and Tach also.

Can you guys gimme some tips on where to start?
I'm really hoping it's not my switch at the bars.



Thanks!!!!

Check the voltage at the headlight connector, there are three wires there. The BLACK with YELLOW stripe is the ground. The other two are high and low beam. If no voltage, trace back to the high/low beam switch on the left handlebar. Check the fuses first, as they will fail but look good. AGX is the size. and most auto parts and boating supply stores can getthem for you.

I think the headlight has its own fuse. The plastic of the fuse box is embossed w fuse & wire color info - kinda handy.
The main fuse box is behind the left side cover & an electrocover.
