read http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=215702 if you still dont understand then get someone who does to do it.

there is a cheaper way to get a little more light output, go round all the connectors associated with the lighting circuit with electrical contact cleaner/grease (''corrosion block'' liquid is a good one. its made by the same people who make ACF-50 but its slightly thicker) inc the handlebar switchgear.

I seem to remember the standard bulbs on the curvy are crap because they were fitted with 45 watt lamps!, or have I just made that up?

To some extent the reflector design just isn't that great which means that bulbs and relaid are just getting the most out of the design rather than fixing all the issues. Still worth doing

Nope. You havent made that up. They are 45w from the factory.

However it is safe to run 55w
