Change HeadLamp Bulb

[rxtim]

Right, this has me stumped.

How do I change the headlamp bulb, my owner's manual says to slacken the screw, then it shows the main unit separated. How do you separate it?

They can be a tight fit, but once the screw is loose at the bottom of the rim you should be able to prise the rim off the bowl, working from the bottom. The top is located by a lug, so you need to seperate from the bottom. A couple of flat bladed screwdrivers works for me ...

seems incredably simple from looking at owners manual but anyway , with my limited powers of description,

there is 1 screw to slacken / undoo untill its 'free' at the bottom front of the lamp unit (not the two at the side) its in the chrome trim you can then pull the bottom forwards slightly and un-hitch the top

it may be easyer with the fairing off or the headlight unbolted from the bike

rememememeber dont grease the new bulb with your fingers

be careful when prising (not sure about the old spelling there kids) as you dont want to be scratching the paint and they do seem to need a bit of a prise, something blunt needed like Anne Widdecombe.
