Default Replacing headlamp bulb on Curvy 'S' - how?

Hi,

I have Heynes service manual, and was trying to find out how to replace the headlight bulbs on my SV650S fully faired bike, but really the pictures in the manual are some what confusing to me.. I will appreciate if someone can point me to link or video showing how to replace. Do I need to remove front fairing (fairing around the lights) or can do it from the back of the lights? as access to light connector from the rear is very tight / limited.

Please advise.

Tks & Rgds.

Curvey? Pointy?

Pointy, You can get to the back of the lights and bulbs with the fairing on. Infact I installed a HID kit with it all on.

1st one is a Gladius, 2nd, 3rd, 4th are pointy, 5th, 6th 7th are curvy.

Pointy is from K3 onwards

So yours being K2 will be curvy.

Does it look like it came out of a Blancmange mould, or a knife catalogue

K2 would be a Curvy

If you look at the top of this page the 3 bikes to the right are Curvies, then the next 3 are Pointies and last of all, a Gladiola
