Nomad Headlight

When I start my bike, sometimes the headlight don't come on. If I hit the start button again, it comes on? Headlight relay maybe??

Thanks
Mark

Is the start button sticking up maybe not releasing all the way? id spray the start button with some wd-40 . See if that helps if the button stays in just a little bit the light wont come on.

I would make sure the start button and light switch are not sticking. Also check your headlight fuse . And check your Headlight Bulb Connections, could be just a loose wire.
Finally I had a headlight that did that for about a week then stopped working completely -it was the bulb.
