klr headlight-bulb replacement madness

[RobertWichert]

I needed BOTH the offset and the spline readjustment to work on my White's boots, but it did mess up the back brake. I now use the back brake with my heel. Is that legal? Robert P. Wichert P.Eng LEED AP +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

I'll give it a shot. The clip is not meant to be removed but swings and latches like a gate. If you remove the bulb try to reattach the clip so the one side has two hinge points. Then the clip will swing and you can see how it will latch. Now insert the bulb, swing the clip and latch it. Then once it is secure put on the wire plug.

I got to say it was a b***ch to take off. There is a wire/clamp there that holds the lightbulb in place so it doesnt move inside the headlight. So it was hard to take off but impossible to put back on. I must have spent an hour and a half and couldnt get it back on. I did not take pics while i was taking it off so i had no referance. Long story short i gt very frustrasted, put the lightbulb in, placed the rubber cover on it, tied it all up with some wire so that it stays in there and had a drink. Now i know that if the bulb moves its gonna die. Can anyone help me? Does the clamp go under the rubber and which way do i place it? Its probably impossible to explain by email. Its great, the light points directly at the drivers rear veiw mirror..... Someone is probably gonna kill me soon Thanks for your help, David www.thevanguardband.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ List Sponsors - Dual Sport News: http://www.dualsportnews.com Arrowhead Motorsports: http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com List FAQ courtesy of Chris Krok: http://www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html Member Map: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DSN_KLR650/app/peoplemap/view/map Group Apps: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DSN_KLR650/grouplets/subscriptionsYahoo!

Just to follow up on this thread....I went down to my Suzuki dealer today to get the DR650 footpegs below and found they were out of stock and would be $100CDN to order in. IMS Pro pegs are cheaper than that and available in Canada so I'll probably go that route as I can't see any advantage to Suzuki pegs if they aren't cheaper. safe riding, Vik Banerjee threeohm@... www.thelazyrando.com

I live on an island in Canada so Ebay [a lot of vendors don't ship to Canada and when they do they charge a ton of $$] and Craig's List are not as useful as they are in the US. I'm also not desperate to save a few $$. If there was an easy convenient option [like the DR650 pegs were for my '97 KLR] I'd take it. Since there doesn't appear to be I'll just get some IMS pegs next time I am ordering something from a Canadian dualsport vendor. safe riding, Vik Banerjee threeohm@... www.thelazyrando.com
