Whilst on my trip, I decided to use my tyre compressor attached to my battery, and as my buddies needed to do thier tyres too, and not wanting a flat battery I left the bike running for about 10 minutes... during this time my jacket was in my way so hung it over the front of the bike... thought nothing of it... until the next day when cleaning dead bugs off my headlamp lens i noticed there was a spot that had melted.... the effect of putting my jacket over the front of the bike, switched on the headlights...and the heat built up under my jacket... with this effect... a melted headlamp lens. |

I just joined this club, but I didn't even hang a jacket on it. I was riding home from work the other morning ( it was still dark), and I noticed that my headlight was barely lighting up the upcoming curve. I began to wonder if I really did need auxiliary lights afterall. Then I opened the garage a couple of days later and realized that my headlight lens on the low beam side was significantly melted and sagging, directly in front of the original OEM bulb. Tonight I felt the lens just about a minute after starting it, and it was very warm to the touch. I'll be contacting my dealer tomorrow, as I only bought the bike about 14 months (and 8000 miles) ago.
