problems to look for when buying a used xr650l

[closeke]

I got on the bike last night to go to work and didn't have a low beam. Rode with the high beam on, @#$% the cagers. The headlight was that napa higher than stock wattage headlight. It was only about a year old with @4500 miles on it. Is this the normal life spam for a headlight? Secondly, does anyone have the part # for the Napa headlight handy? Haven't found it yet in the archives and don't know if it will be on the old one. Criag A15 Pruav(Cager blinding Cyclops)

Criag- Check the headlight mount, several folks have had the spot weld fail and this would could lead to greater vibrations reaching the bulb. Also check the headlight socket as that might have melted from the excess wattage. If you haven't already, consider running some fat wires directly off the battery to the headlight. Z DC
