If the high beams come on, check that the blue wire's connector is making a firm contact, then replace the switch assembly. If the high beams don't come on, you either have a blown high beam filament, or a break in the BLUE wire - check for voltage on the blue wire entering the headlight socket on the front cowling.
Wow! I love you.
The first thing I tried just now was connecting the BROWN/BLUE wire to the BLUE wire, turned on the ignition, and the high beam was working!

I will correct myself from earlier, when I mentioned 'green' wire I meant to say 'dark green'.
Is there a possibility that the dark green wire has a break somewhere? Because it doesn't seem to make any readings with negative or positive terminal of the battery. Perhaps when the switch connects the blue + dark green, it may not be completing the circuit.

[edit] I just tested the switch again and I am most certain it is working as needed. To prove it, with the switch uninstalled, I put a jumper from the green wire to the blue wire and the high beams did not work.
I can't quite figure out where the green wire leads to since it is wrapped up in a huge bundle that follows into a difficult part of the bike to get to.
