Default Fusebox for 1994 Katana 600?

I have a 1994 Suzuki Katana 600. The high beam lights quit working about a month ago and now the low beams are not on either. The bike run/starts fine and all the other eletrical systems seem to be working fine. I am no mechanic but I assume this must mean there is a blown fuse? Where's the fusebox??? Any help on this matter would be great.

It's possible that the bulb is just blown.

The fuse box is usually under the seat somewhere near the battery.

That could also be the case. I've had the bike for a few years and nothing electrical has ever quit working. If the bulbs are burned out, is it simple to take the head light out to replace? Are there service manuals anywhere that I could follow?

I'm not sure what it takes to get to the bulb on that model. It's important that you do not touch the new bulb with your bare hands when replacing it, since oils from your skin can heat up and weaken the bulb.

You should be able to pick up a factory manual from a dealership or find an aftermarket one such as Hayes brand on Amazon.
