    Took the bike for a spin and my high beam light on the dash has become half lit.... The actual lights are unaffected and when the passing button and full beam switch is pressed the dash bulb becomes fully lit. But goes back to be half glowing on my dash after turning them off... Tried moving the headlights, tugging on some cables and still no dice. Suggestions!? Speed triple 1050 05'

    Check the switch and all associated wiring for signs of damage or chafing, sounds like something is making a slight connection that shouldn't. Good luck, I bloody hate leccy trouble.

    I had this on my 2010 Speedie a couple of times, when a side/running bulb (3w small thingy) went and also when one of the dipped filaments failed, I could be wrong but I now see this as an indicaton that one ofthe lights is faulty
    Double check all the bulbs, including tail light and see if something is faulty.

    Everything that is meant to glow is glowing and it still cycles between low and high without issue.

    I think it's down to something moving, as I was accelerating hard and shifting fast prior to noticing but can't see anything obvious. I've checked the front headlights again and anything that could of been battered by wind impact but no joy :/

    Are, or has there been any signs of condensation in the instrument panel? Different bike but this is a VERY common problem on Multistrada's, condensation causes corrosion/tracking on the internal circuit board.
    But also agree with Red thunder, could be getting a low level feed via a faulty bulb or dodgy socket elsewhere on the lights circuit.
