The same thing happened to me while i was riding mine after dark. In my case, the fuses (located under the seat in the fuse panel) were badly corroded and the highlight fuse holder was cracked and making a bad contact. I replaced the whole fuse assembly (cheap and easy to do) and havenĀ“t had the problem since. If you have already checked the fuses, my appologies for the obvious response. Good luck.
