. I buttoned everything back up and the left city light was out... The bike started and the headlights and gps works but now after switching bulbs to test... Both city lights are out now
Can I still run the bike without the city lights?
Thoughts?
1) You can run the bike without City lights, assuming they are the only thing not working.
2) My first guess is they both just burned out (assuming you have the original filament bulbs, and the one that was working was about to go when you messed with it) and as usual check the simple things first. If you have a License plate light and a tail light/Brake light working then I'd check the city light bulbs for continuity and or replace the bulbs as those four (city;plate;tail;brake) are on the same circuit. If the tail light/brake light and the plate light aren't working then check the tail light fuse. Then when all that is checked is when I'd move on to the fun process of checking circuit wiring. If you find that the city light bulbs are in fact burned out then you might as well get a plate light as well as it'll go soon.
LEDs would be a better replacement option for all if that turns out to be the problem, just remember most LED bulbs are polarity sensitive and if they don't work when first installed, turn them around in the socket before giving up on them if they can be installed more than one way (e.g. city lights).
