Posted October 13, 201410 yr The headlight of my YBR125 is awfull. Can anyone recommend a better bulb than the standard craps? Also, can you put a higher wattage bulb in the headlight, than the standard h4 35w/35w? Cheers!
October 13, 201410 yr Had the same issue with my SR - standard filament bulb. I put a 35/45w bulb in and it has improved slightly with no negative problems
October 13, 201410 yr Author If I put something in like a 55w/60w. Would that be to much for the battery and wiring?
October 14, 201410 yr If you get it wrong it will get hot and melt the housing, like most of these things you can't just bung what you like in them cos the standard is usually about 10% under the max allowed so anything above that will lead to problems. Work out your max voltage output then deduct everything that you can turn on, lights rear - indicators - horn - side lights and anything else that you might have attached to the bike then what you have left is the max voltage you can get away with subject to the heat it will generate. remember the brighter the light the hotter it will get. Has anyone used an LED headlight? if they even make one and it would need an inverter to convert the DC to AC.
October 14, 201410 yr Most led lights work straight from 12v. I have seen some on eBay but tbh most are Chinese and quality may not be great. I use an Angel eye type as a daylight running and works fine
October 15, 201410 yr Author Does anyone make a brighter 12v 35/35w H4 bulb that will be better than the one that came with the bike. Can't find one without higher wattage. Going to try and adjust the headlamp, see if that helps at all.
October 28, 201410 yr I have the same problem. I come home from work at night along dark B roads and it can be quite scary. If you cant find any way of making it better try and hover the low/high beam switch in the middle and it makes the headlight use both fillaments of the bulb. Dont get me wrong this wont permanantly sort the problem but it works for the tine being
October 31, 201410 yr Tusk Super White bulbs are da bomb! Like said earlier you will have to be careful but these lights are extremely bright and have a white tint. I have the H6M Tusks on my Banshee, same watt rating as stock, and they improved my night time vision dramatically.
November 3, 201410 yr I replaced my headlight bulb in my 08 plate YBR125 with one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180800679141 Much better than the standard bulb, also fitted one of these to sidelight http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251611872455
