Hey, my name is Ken, and I have an 02 Bajaj Legend 4 stroke. I had a flat tire not long ago, and changed it seemingly without incident. Since about that time, I have been blowing headlights like crazy. I will be on the road, hit a high rev, and see a flash, then no headlight. I bet it is a bare wire or something, but I don't know how to chase it down. Guys have any advice please?

I would look into the regulator . it might look like this or could be black if you do locate it post a pic so we can see the wire position in the plug .  John |

If your headlights get really bright right before they go out its because their being over-volted. If their getting too much power its because the regulator is not regulating the power accordingly.
You said it happens at high rpm. The faster the flywheel spins the more electricity it generates.
Its located right in the very front of the scooter, attached to the frame behind the headlights.
Its cheaper and easier than fixing a tire.
I was having the same problem, thought it was a wire, so I replaced the headlight harness and they still blew. Replaced the regulator and haven't changed the headlights since.

Guys, thank you so much. Now I just have to find the regulator for my model!
One more question, is the regulator located by the battery? If it's not, do I have to remove the plastic to get access to the headset? Where exactly is it?

If it's not, do I have to remove the plastic to get access to the headset? Where exactly is it? Nearly all of them are under the body panel in front.. i.e. the panel your headlight is in. It should be bolted near the handlebars...Easy job to do..  |

You just need to let me know if it looks like the one in the picture I posted . Then I need to know the position of the wires , a quick pic will be great . I can then set you up with the correct regulator .
