head lamp and pilot lamp query
Hi,
own a 2012 ninja 250R and couple of days back realized that the low beam and the pilot lamp is not working. the pilot lamp is also called as "city lamp" in the manual. The high beam works fine though and i checked to see if the low beam bulb has gone bad but it has not. could this be a fuse issue? if yes, then all 3 should not work right? Please help/ advice.

Not sure on the headlight....
The city light, if I remember the manual correctly, is hooked in with the license plate light and tail light. Are those working? If my memory serves and it may very well not, the license/tail/city should be on their own fuse while the headlights are separate.

I found it when trying to locate a wire to tap into that became hot with the bike turned on but not started.

Do you have a multimeter? You can see if there is voltage getting to the headlight plug. If there isn't you can go from there. Really, if the fuse is OK and there isn't some unknown wiring damage somewhere, maybe the high beam switch has gone bad and isn't completing the connection.
