Hi Guys
Can any one help with this one ? the Prob is

Turn on the ignition and the front light will not come on untill the engine has started and run for about 10 secs, then off you go on your ride lights on and ok , now turn the headlight on full beam and that works fine but the indicator light on the tank pannel does not come on but sometimes it will come on. then some times while traveling along the front light will go out then come on again then be fine with no more problems. next day you may have no problems at all, then another day same troubles again. seems strange that something will cause the front light to go out while riding and also not come on when you turn the key untill the engine is running and to affect the high beam indicator light as well.
Could there be something be on its way out or possible a loose conection somewere. anyone had this prob before that can head me in the right direction
Thanks Guys for any help. sorry if it sounds a bit jumbled but i found it hard to explain.

sounds to me like you have a short in one of the wires relating to the headlight relay which is up under the tank (on my speedmaster) First look would be at all the wires coming out the headlight bowl.
