My old kzp headlight would die going down the road, scary! I would get off the road quick and stop fast. Wiggle fuses and it would come back on. I fixed it by eliminateing the fuse block  ;) now it has fuseable links :)

B.D.F.:
Is this a HID type where the bulb moves back and forth or two bulbs mounted next to each other?

If it is a single bulb, moving type of HID it sounds like the harness is bad. There should be a capacitor in the HID harness to keep the bulb ignited momentarily while you switch the headlight position from high to low (and the other way too).

I put the stock headlight system back in place and did not have a problem the rest of the summer and fall.

Last weekend I put in a new HID ballast and new HID bulb.  The same thing is happening again.  Things are fine with a standard bulb; the HID system came with a relay and is wired to the battery.  If I had the problem with the OEM setup I'd suspect the hi/low switch on the handlebar.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Should I WD-40 the headlight switch, buy a replacement, ... ?
