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 have LED bulbs and no other issue. When I turn off the bike with key switch and back on, the headlight comes on normal. I have swapped bulbs and the problem is still on the right headlight.
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. Since it takes me 20-30 mins sometimes to change the bulbs, making changes is slow. I have lived with this issue for a year, very annoying. Any new ideas would be appreciated.
