Hi guys,
As you can see from the picture, my R1 RPM light bulb has gone and I looked it up, it uses conventional bulb and can be replace and I just want to see if any of you changed and how easy it is to do it yourself? just to let you guys know the most difficult thing I have done with bike is changing the battery on the scooter, so I am not a very handy or skillful man. If I decide to take it to someone and get it fixed, how much you guys reckon will cost me? I am in Islington and any idea where I can go?
Thanks
Its easy, you can do it 1 of 2 ways:
-
Take the screen off so you can see the back of the clocks, pull out the wire that is plugged in behind the RPM bit and swap the bulb over.
-
There should be 1 or 2 srews that you ca see on the front of the clocks, undo these & turn the clocks over and pull out the plugged in cable behind the RPM counter and swap the bulb over.
3-5 min job!
You’re kidding right? 3-5 minutes? Blimey, any time I’ve had to take off a screen on a bike, I’ve had to fiddle for 20 minutes with those annoying grubs that the screws go into.
It can be a fair bit fiddly unless the R1 uses different fixings that I don’t know about
