Replacing Curvey Headlight Bulbs -How? - SV650.org

appollo1 · 07-10-09, 09:43 AM

I have noticed that the headlight bulbs on my curvey are not very good especially at night. I have read a fw threads about different replacement bulbs a may look at getting osram nightbreakers.

However, I had a look at my bike and cannot work out how to remove the bulbs to replace new. There does not seem to be any room to get in behind the fairing - does that have to be removed?

Sorry if I sound a complete biff but, Can anyone help me out please and advise me on a n easy way to do it.

Thanks

Turn the bars to one side.
Reach down and pull off the electrical block connector off the bulb.
Pull off the rubber cover.
Undo the spring clip that holds the bulb in.

It's not the most accessible, but it's a million miles from being the worst

cheers jambo

I looked at it and thought that may be the way but didn't want to go pulling bits apart to find it wasn't.

thanks
