Headlight problem

ok i have a 2002 gsxr 1000.   my headlights wont work on eather selection. i just bought new bulbs an also checked the fuse an still nothing... about a year ago my lowbeams stoped working. alot of stuff was going on and never got around to fixing it i just road with my highbeams on.... now they both dont work... i put a test meater on the wires that conect to the back of the bulbs and i get nothing?????   what eles could be rong?????  

i haven't heard of that one, but then i'm not too savvy on electrical issues.

could the wires be rubbing on something that finally wore them all the way through?

it's a pretty basic assumption, but it's a possibility...  

Another thing you can check is the handle bar switch....if your not getting anything back at the bulbs try the wires on the switch...I have had to replace mine twice on two diffrent gsx-r's and one was an 2002 gsx-r 1000  

can you explane a little more?  i take it apart and i am sopesed to get 12v on all 3 wires???  there is 2 yellow and one white???  

I as well have the same bike and same problem. I tested the wires on the hi/lo switch and got nothing, checked the voltage at the fuse block and got nothing. I'm currently in the process of tearing it down for some new paint, so the only thing I know to do next is trace the wiring completly.  

make sure key is on and the yellow wire with the white stripe is the switch power lead the yellow wire should have 12v when switch is on high and the white when the switch is on low beam .....hope it helps  

yes that does help..  and i dont have anything across the bord.... so that means its just the switch?????????  thanks for your help  

well now you need to see if the plug is getting power to it....check where u unplug the switch and see it the power is getting too the switch if you have power then your switch is bad  

sorry its been a wile sence the post i just have been busy and out of town... but anyways i dont have any power going to one yellow wire and the yellow and blue only has 5.5 volts... so neather is good to run the lights where should i look now  

a lot of the SRADs and older 2000 Suzukis have that problem. I would check the wiring harness. Also take apart all those plugs and spray some WD 40 in them to make sure you are getting a connection. I've had 2 Suzukis have the same exact problem with that headlight. You'll most likely see a melted wire or if there is a problem with the clear plug, you will just have to do a simple plug bypass...
