Most likely a bad load control relay (main relay). It's located behind the RH knee panel and on the RX sleds I believe it's the right relay (left for the RS sleds). It powers the headlight and signal circuits.

Thanks
That's one of those three relays just inside the buzzer?
I'll have to check tomorrow after work..Hopefully it's something so simple as that..not a wiring issue..and hopefully my dealer carries that relay
cheers

Yes, they are next to the backup alarm. The part number for the main relay is: 8DM-81950-00-00. The left relay is for the carb heater, the center is the high/low beam control and the right relay is the main relay. The main and the carb heater relays are the same and you could try swapping them to confirm that you have a faulty relay. The high/low beam relay is controlled by the switch on the handlebars. It gets it's power feed for the bulbs from the main relay so if you don't have headlights it doesn't mean the high/low relay is bad. Start with the main relay first.
