Guys, just wondered if anybody can shed some light (get it?) on how to get to the headlight bulb if / when it need to be replaced?

Mine doesn't yet but I want to have spares ready and know how to change it when it is needed. I haven't really checked in to it other than having a quick look at the headlight unit which seems sealed all around.

Cheers.

I think you have to remove the engine and front forks to access the underside of the lamp unit.

Sorry, couldn't resist some silliness there..............
 
DSC_0529.webp Remove allen bolt just above front indicator (both sides) pull headlight forward slightly, and pull up. Located on u shaped bracket on bottom of light assy should all come away quite easy. will still have headlight loom attached but easy enough to change bulb easier to do than explain lol
 
I had 2 bulbs blow on my FZ6 which I owned for 2 years so I just want to be prepared like a good cub scout.

They're bulbs, bulbs blow. It's an imperfect world.
 
U mite wanna know that after u have taken the 4 side bolts out that u have to pop the 2 bottom rubber grommets out before u can drop the headlight forward. I put a H7 bulb in mine the other day and it's a pain in the arse lol

Tell me about it! Damn pain in the ass to get the grommets back in. In the user manual they make it sound so easy, but when you actually change the bulb... OMG I was going crazy. But finally got them in...

Top tip to get the grommets back in....

Push it in as far as u can then screw the bolt in a little bit and pull the grommets thru. Unscrew and hay presto, grommets back in lol
