headlight

[Sailor]

First, I am an idiot when it comes to mechanical things or comfusers, er , computers.

My headlight burnt out on my 02 and I am trying to figure out how to get the headlight out. When I take out the screw at the botom of the headlight ring I still can't get the ring off. What is the secret? Once I can get at the headlight it is no problem.

Some people with small hands or long pliers and patience have been able to replace the bulb from the back by turning the forks all the way to the right. You will see the plug and the rubber dust cover on the back of the headlight if you look in front of the fork down by the headlight adjusting knob.

 

Most of us find it much easier to just split the fairing and remove the headlight from the sub-frame. The outside chrome ring you see does not come off. That screw below it is just one of the screws you need to take out to split the fairing.
