Can someone blast me over the correct procedure for removing and replacing the standard bulb? Doe the fairing need to come off? Capt. Bob in Durham, CT.

Todd, I'm sorry to hear it! I can't say as I've ever heard of that problem, either, although the dealer's description isn't too detailed, either. (I'm wondering why it requires a whole new carb?) Regardless, this seems like a fluke and not a common failure point. I hope you get your bike back soon so you can ride the heck outta it! -- Blake Sobiloff http://sobiloff.typepad.com/blakeblog/> http://sobiloff.typepad.com/klr_adventure/> San Jose, CA (USA) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

My 03 does not use the push and turn method of removing the bulb socket. After you pull the rubber boot from the back of the bulb, there is a little wire spring that you push in, move it off it's catch, then release and the bulb socket then comes right out. Very quick and painless. No need to remove the fairing, but you do need to remove that black piece of plastic inside the fairing. I just left the plastic piece off because it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I'm missing something? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
