I just got my bike tonight (via delivery) and noticed that only one headlight (right, front) comes one when in low beam mode (left, front) does not!! When I switch to high beam mode they both work. Do I need to have the left front bulb replaced? My bike is brand new.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Congrats on the bike. And your bike is normal. That is the way it is. Your bike is just fine.

I get that from ppl all the time with my 998, hey Mr., you got a head light out.
Even had a cop pull me over for it.

Sux in my opinion- why can't they both be on and have a low beam high beam mode?
The older bikes did this- I don't like the 1 headlight off modes- but that's how they are!

You apparently have not read your owners manual - one light is cool - it differentiates us from the masses condemned to ride Asian bikes.

I think you may be right on that one. If I remember right Ducati was the first to run with the single low beam,,,other companies started to copy Ducati. Kind of like the signature underseat exhaust.
