+1 good question - I have a switch that sometimes blacks out the lights. Toggling it a couple times gets it back working, but compared to the other K75 this switch is definitely in need of service. This bike was a zombie for three years which probably didn't help the switches.

I found this:

If you don't have e headlight relay mentioned in the second link, it comes recommended -- I put it in last year and really improved the headlight performance, and probably prevented further damage to the switch.

Thanks for the links. I'll investigate further to see what is up with mine exactly.
