Is it an import? Or a uk bike?

Import model the head light should come on automatically, UK bike you need to switch it on. Possibly fuse or could be the headlight relay.

Yeah more than likely the relay id have said, check the manual out, im sure theres a test you can do on it to check it works, although you might need a multimeter to do it.

might be worth ckecking the bulbs but then two at the same is a bit unlikely.........

But check the easy peasy stuff first like the fuses, then go from there :)

tested mine according to the manual it was fine but had no main beam, put a new relay on and all worked.
