Is the bulb of the correct wattage - that would be the first thing I'd check.
Otherwise trace the wiring for any abrasions in the insulation and/or poor contacts, particularly within the handlebar switch and the multiplug just above the radiator on the RHS. |

Done all the normal checks mate. But I'll double check what you suggest
It's a h7 12V 55w if I remember right? |

Same on mine. It never caught fire but it had overheated to a point where it just crumbled to pieces. Had to cut the wires right back and joined in some thicker wire and some spade connectors. Been fine since.
