Diddylord Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi I havent indroduced myself properly yet I am just starting out on my fist bike a 2010 yamaha ybr 125. I got it in July and have been looking around this site since around then. The bike is great fun to ride round the lanes on the way to collage and work and i'm really enjoying it however I don't find the stock headlight bulb very good, it has been better since the 600 mile service however still not very good. I have looked around at a few sites which all seem to recomend 12v 60/55w H4 bulbs to go in the bike ( http://www.bikebulbs.com/view_products.php?bike_link_make_id=22&bike_link_model_id=7641&model_lamp_code=H4) however this is for the 07 model which is in some ways different to mine but I don't think the headligh has changed. The bulb in there at the moment is a philips hs1 12v 35/35w bulb so I am wundering if the bikes wiring can take a h4 bulb without damaging anything thanks you for any replies.

barkwindjammer Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi Dan and welcome to the nuthouse , If I were you I'd be cautious about fitting a 55w lamp, my advice would be to join a forum like this one http://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=158330 , then do a write up about how you have 'upgraded' your crap light, give it 3 weeks, if you dont see subsequent posts that mention smoke and burnt out wiring/catastrophic fires then your probably 'good to go' ps what are you studying at collage ?

Dan0692 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I've just gotten a 2010 black YBR and the bulb in there is stock (Phillips HS1 35/35 watt 12v bulb) and I wanted a xenon as opposed to this glow worm. I bought this off ebay, I have no idea if it will actually work. I'd like an experienced member on here to tell me whether or not i'm making a mistake fitting this to my YBR http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-HS1-Super-white-Xenon-Motorbike-ATV-bulb-12v-35-35w-/370380407289?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item563c6481f9#ht_2091wt_1139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
