high beams

[grouseridge]

Don't know if this is normal with having only the right light go to high with the high beam switch on, or are they both to change?

Thanks

Both of them are supposed to shutter to high, same bulb single filament.

Yes, both go high. Is one light aimed lower than it should be? I honestly don't know if there are two shutters in there. Someone will have taken theirs apart to see what makes the system tick. I kinda thought it was one shutter across both fixtures, but thinking about it now it should be two. Was anything done to the bike just before you noticed? Harness recall perhaps?
Yours would be the first failure. ::018::

I know they have a shutter system but looking at the Yamaha headlight OEM parts schematic, I don't see any shutter system.. :-[

From personal experience if the globe/bulb in the affected light is not seated correctly it fouls the shutter.

what all the guys above have stated...
and:

it's an H7 bulb, single filament, that's basically on high beam so to speak. When the shutter is down, it cuts the high beam down to low beam, effectively blocking half the light. High beam switch activates the shutter, and opens to show the full high beam light.

Must be an integral part, not serviceable separately. ::007::

When the recall was done before new bike delivery, they forgot to plug in the left high beam wire.

Was fix'n to chime in with my experience with headlight recall and noticed the North Ga. location. You are pretty close to me.
