    Took the bike to my daughter's choir recital. Everything was good. Started it up to come home, no headlights. Anyone had this issue before? It was left out in the rain last night (yea I know, sacrilegious) so could that have screwed something up?

    It's not burned out bulbs or a bad fuse cuz you already checked them, right ?? So the fault most likely resides within the START pushbutton switch that contains contacts that send the headlights power. Try jiggling the switch and spraying some contact cleaner behind it and pulling the switch back fully to the off position. A common problem. :blue:
