R1200RT 2013 - Right Low Beam headlight turns on when started, after running a few minutes, get right bulb failure

[omega man]

So here is what I tried. First if the rt bulb light shuts off, if I turn ign key off then on, it comes back on with no other action, then goes off again later, so a heat issue or bad connector would not be that problem as it happens whether the bike is running on the street or in the garage. I also tried different bulbs, added a resistor even though the bulb was suppose to be canbus compatible. Swapping rt to left, the problem still ends up on the rt side. if the bulb was not canbus, I should have the same issue on the left side.

If the “different” bulbs were not stock, I would try a stock bulb……perhaps both stock.

I can move the whole thread for you!
Bikes on the “cusp” of a model year change generally don’t draw any confusion. It’s not a big deal.

Do you have a GS911 diagnostic tool? It seems like it would be recording a fault when that happens, which might aid diagnosis.

My 2013 R1200RT has a very annoying issue, when the bike is started up both low beam headlights work fine, then sometime after a few minutes or after I have been riding a while I notice the headlight failure icon on my display. It is always the right headlight that goes out, the left is fine. I...
