today i noticed my reflection on the back of the car infront. It appeared that only one headlight on my bike was lit up therefore looking asymmetrical. Only when I put on my high beams or flasher they both light up. Is this a fault or is this how the bike is designed?

On some promotional images I have found online it appears only one headlight on the bike is on and that is how my bike looks is it normal? sorry if this seems to be a stupid question.

Perfectly normal & it is how the Tracer should be, it does look a bit strange & on a couple of occasions i have been told that one of my bulbs has blown by helpfull pedestrians, hope you enjoy the Tracer, i know i do!

I recall reading some years ago that when a bike has both headlights on, a dozy driver can mistake a close bike for a distant car and pull out....Ouch!
Happened to a friend of mine some years back, he almost lost a leg!
