Please Help

A few days ago I accidentally left the key in the bike and drained my battery.

I hooked it up to the charger and the bike worked no problem.

Now my headlights (both high and low) have stopped working. Now my side turn signals are not working.

I checked the fuses and all look to be fine. Battery is fine. Bike starts. No other issues with dash lights or rear.

What is odd is that my high beam indicator light remains on despite no working head lights.

I also have an HID kit on the bike. I didn't do the installation myself but bought it with it already done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! This is my prime means to get around.
 
Relay or HID Ballast dead?
 
My guess would be a fuse. Have a closer look at the fuses.
As the battery Voltage decreased the HID ballast would increase the current to maintain light output. At a certain point the current will be high enough to take out the fuse.


No doubt you have a crappy HID installation. (actually, it's pretty much guaranteed as no one makes a HID retrofit kit for the R1) The ballast will not have a low Voltage cut-out.
Undo the HID installation, put it back to stock lighting, check that the wiring hasn't been hacked up.
 
Find a good mechanic that's good with electrical work....

My suggestion would be unhook all non-stock stuff and see what it does
