Hello, Hope anyone can advise, all my lights work except my main bulb, which I replaced carefully wearing gloves, being halogen but no luck yet, what do I check first ? Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Was it working before you changed? There are a lot of crap halogen lamps out there. If it was working before revert back to old bulb, filament type??
Check the connections in bulb holder, check the prongs on bulb holder sometines these to be sprung to get a good connectiin to lamp.
Then get the multi meter out!!

Thanks gpowell, very much appreciated. I'll definitely check again tomorrow, just finished sorting my side panel indicators all is well there. Need to find a out if wiring is correct too on Cdi side? But then again wouldn't affect main light if all others working fine I suppose?

Often its the simplest things, likely lamp or connections
After you have checked the connections pop the switch out and check nothing untoward on the soldered connections.
Cdi wiring wont affect lighting.
Cdi wiring, if the older ducati type, its colour coordinated with stator wiring the outmost green (the Right hand looking from back) is from the ignition switch
Good luck

Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. Just to add check you haven't severed a wire taking head set off and on in some way, then like gpowell says get the multi meter out, its an easy check😉👍. If all other lights are working it should be an easy fix, on saying that my mate got his scoot out after a couple of years in his shed it was dead after looking it over we found a mouse nest and the nest had the pieces of plastic wire in it, he was gutted🤣 It took me ages splicing the wires back, good luck
