I have a 1989 yfm200dx that has a headlight problem. The headlight is very dim, to the point it doesnt illuminate anything. Anyone have any idea what to troubleshoot?

Thanks,

The best idea would be to check how much power is being sent to the light with a voltmeter. You might also have a bad ground in the wiring. Check your wires under the front grill area.

 

Figured it out. Someone had tied the hot and ground for the tailight together (i bought it used) I measured the DC voltage and there was none, when I fixed the wiring all I could get was AC voltage. Apparently this headlight works on AC not DC. Thanks for the help.
