So the headlight on my '12 Stella has become woefully anemic since two days ago. Both high and low output is so low that I can't ride at night. The bike's running fine otherwise.
Where do I start looking?
Headlight intensity has dropped.

Is the electric start working okay or are you kickstarting?
The primary bulb is working, right? If you're looking at it from the front, you can see the main bulb switch back and forth? I ask because there's another, dimmer bulb in there that can work when the main one is out.
If the electrics are fine otherwise, I'd start by checking the connection in the headset. If you have a multimeter, I'd also check the battery output and the voltage at the headlight connection.
