MB1993 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1993 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 No sorry mate your best bet would to take the bulb from your bike if you can that way you know it's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra12 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1993 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
