Speedo and front headlight stopped working

I noticed mt speedo stopped working about 2 weeks ago. Then a week ago I noticed my headlight has stopped coming on. All other electrical gauges and lights are still working. Is it a good idea to replace the headlight relay, and speed sensor, or is there another cause that these 2 things have stopped working

After they did some typical inspections of pinched wires and faulty fuses, they checked the battery terminals. The owner of the bike said one of the battery clamps was not firmly tightened to the post. They cleaned and tightened both posts and their problems went away.

If I remember correctly, the problem they were having was the speedometer was giving odd readings.; ▶ Reply to This
