If the low beams work and the bike starts OK, clues point to bad switch contacts in the HI/LOW switch (or bad relay??), not to r/r.

Spread the load on the pan widely and no problem.
Get it on the stand, and roll the wheel over a few times while pushing up on the bottom run until you find the TIGHTEST SPOT. Set tension so the...
