    Is the switch up or not? If so your probably knocking it as you get on or fire the bike up. If not it's a loose connection somewhere, prob in the switch unit would be my guess

    Cheers , on this one, beam is on/off by pulling the 'flash' switch , not the usual switch. I notice it mid-ride, it did it again today. It's hard to imagine that i'm pulling it accidentally . I wondered if it was anybody else as well .

    Yep, me too. I've done it a few times. Well at least I think its me, unless their is some sort of glitch. But I'm 95% sure its me just being a tit and knocking it accidentally..
