Ballast !!

Its unlikely to be an HID burner (bulb). There is no filament to break. Most likely its a wiring connector to the ballast block or the ballast itself.

Battery is also unlikely. If bike start the battery is adequate. It can't cause the electrics to go over normal voltage and the headlight works only when engine is running or rear wheel is turning so abnormal low volts can't happen to the headlights.

I couldn't find anything else wrong so I can only presume that's the problem.. I'll speak with les first but may just leave it as standard.. did like the bright light though... mmm ill see..!!
