Default Re: clock bulbs

I can't remember the size, but Halfords sell 'em, or at least my local one does. But yeah, they're a pain to get to. I thinkl you can maybe reach the idiot lights without having to totally take teh bike to bits, some of the gauge lamps are blocked off by the subframe so you can't get to them without removing the clocks too, but maybe you can get to the idiot light cluster just with the side panel off? Never tried... It's the same bulbs.

Right i'm stretching my memory a bit here but the last time i changed the clock bulbs i used small capless bulbs from Halfords the bulb number thing is 286 the problem with these bulbs is that they're only 1.2 watts which i think is dimmer than the standard ones which are 5 watt
