Default Headlight not working????

The bike is a ZRX 1200R 2001 Model. The headlight fails to light. Have checked the fuse block fuse and it is ok. Not having a owners manual or a shop manual is not helping me to track down the problem. I have checked for power to the switch and there is none. Is there a relay that would cause this problem??? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. This machine is scheduled to go on a hard 4 day run Memorial wkend.

the relay should be in the harness close to the bulb socket itself. or in that general cluster of wires. is the bulb burned out ?

Thanks to all for the responses. It wasn't a fuse, the bulb, or the relay. All of our other machines the light comes on when you turn the key on. Not this one. We learned the relay causes a delay until the engine is running after turning on the ignition. Kind of embarrassing.
