Headlight problems

Hello Everyone
Does any one know where the headlight relay is on a 1991 zxr400 jap import?
Because my problem is that my headlight sometimes doesn't come on when i press the start switch but if i press it 1 or 2 times again while the bike is running it will come on, so i'm guessing its a sticky relay?
Also when i'm riding the bike, randomly the light will go off.
Very strange and anoyin.
If any one can give any advice that would be great.
Thanks

Have a listen for the relay clicking when you start the bike. Since it doesnt come on right away and only after a few more clicks of the starter, have a listen for the relay switching over.

under the seat the one on the left hand side is the starter relay, and the indicator relay is on the opposite side,

After a few hours of tinkering with the wireing i managed to find the problem, it was the fuse box. the fuse was fine but there must be a lose connection in the box itself, i changed the wiring so it didn't go through the box and the head light worked fine. If any one else has this problem try changing the fuse box this may work for you, but don't change the wiring permently so its not going through a fuse as this is a fire hazard.
Thanks to every one for there help
