Here is an upgrade bulb which is on eBay. Yamaha YBR bulb upgrade I purchased one of these for my YBR and it was brighter and also more white in colour. But then the low beam filiment burnt out, closely followed by the high beam one, so I was left with no light at all for some time. I have swapped back to the stock bulb now! Maggerz

I won't bother then! Thanks for your help.

Hello. I own a Yamaha YBR125 which I have ridden since March and its possibly the best thing i've ever bought. I am very impressed with the performance, handling, and economy. It's great in towns and on twisty lanes. I am wondering if perhaps I could start running it on High Octane fuel such as BP Ultimate or any of the branded types you find at garages? I have only put standard unleaded in there until now but I wondered if it might help the smooth running of the bike and perhaps make it a tad faster? I would be interested if anyone else uses High Octane in a YBR and has noticed a difference? Sorry it's such a long post! Thanks.

Yes. I have the same problem at the moment with my '08 YBR. Sometimes you can start the bike up and the headlight won't start on its own. It will just run on the little DRL (daylight running light). It takes a tap on the lens and the headlight will normally come on. I have also had the same problem with the light flashing. It looks like a strobe light sometimes, i'm guessing its the same problem that you have had. I've tried cleaning the terminals etc. Its quite a dangerous fault as it could look like you're flashing someone out at a junction etc. I have taken to riding with my full beam on in the day etc for safety until I get the problem sorted. Glad i'm not the only one, deverett666!
