I was riding home from work one evening and the bulb in my rev gauge went out!

Any ideas on changing it?

I am a newbie with the YBR :spin2:

Usually the bulbs go in through the bottom of the casing, at least most of them do, my best advice would be to look underneath the rev gauge and see if you can get at the bulb holder from there and swap out the bulb, other wise try the net for a picture of that piece of the wiring loom and see how it all fits together. Do you have a manual? cos that's the best way of finding out how your bike works.

I will have to find out after work and make a visit to Halfrauds.

I hope they do LED's!

Do you know what type they would be?

No sorry mate your best bet would to take the bulb from your bike if you can that way you know it's right.

the bulbs are 501 type on my 2010 ybr at the back of the clocks there are 3 screws remove them and you can see the loom behind the speedo rev counter etc

hope that helps

Thanks a lot, I will check it out after work tomorrow if it's not peeing down.

:hyper:

no woriies only know as i had to change the speedo bulb on mine ..... can be done without taking the headlight off but its a bit tight so if you want to make it a bit easy remove the headlight the back of the clocks only have 3 philips screws holding the cover on

not sure if LED bulbs will work as the bulb goes in at the top of the clocks and most LED type bulbs dont spredd the light enough and not sure if there will be enough room for the SMD type

the fuel gauge is a 286 type bulb

Ah okay I see what you mean, what about something like these? http://goo.gl/OIk3v9

I'm probably wrong, but seeing as they're near enough £2, there's hardly any risk testing them :babyha:
