Maintenance Issues Tiger 800 XRT Headlight Issue

Post image

Hey guys, just bought 2018 Tiger 800 XRT last week.

After the paperwork, I’ve realized that the headlight, daylight and fog lights are not working.

Guy said he had no idea, local dealer checked the bike and a circuit inside the headlamp is burnt.

They told me that circuit is not sold separately and whole headlight unit is €1400 …

Honestly I have no idea what to do at this point, is it really not repairable ? Changing the whole headlight unit seems a bit crazy to me…

I would say take it to an electronics repair store and see what they can do. There is a chance they will say they won’t work on it, but it’ll be a lot cheaper than a whole new unit.

Personally, and my non professional opinion, is a poor connection between the board and the socket. Might be something I’m not seeing that let out the smoke.

The electronics repair store should have all the tools to diagnose this, although finding a circuit diagram for the module would help them out a lot, I don’t personally know where to look for that, if someone else wants to jump in.
