Is the engine running? I know on the pregens the headlight does not come on until the engine is running.

You'll save gas if you shut it off when you're asleep at night.
All I can suggest is to use the wiring diagram to trace where the headlight power runs, and follow it with a meter or test lamp until you find where it's not getting though. |

Is the high-beam light working? Might give you a starting point on a shared circuit
If the high beam does work, you can doublecheck the low-beam bulb by swapping them since they are identical bulbs. I had a low-beam blow out a while back. Bulb looked fine at a glance. Swapped them, and it wouldn't work in the high-beam. The original bulb from the high beam worked in the low beam housing, suggesting it was the low-beam bulb. Also useful trick if your lowbeam does blow and you don't want to use your highbeam - they can be swapped on the roadside if you know what you're reaching for and have skinny arms. Just make sure you wipe off the glass on the bulb - don't want to make hot spots with finger oil or dirt.

Momaru, thanks for the answer, high-beam light isnt working, the blue light indicator of high beam working, isnt working already, i think it must be the relay there is outside of the fuse box, but im new with the bike so im not sure about that.
