Getting to the OD light

[johnny-canuck]

I haven't started looking yet, so I thought I'd save myself some time and ask. Do I have to split the fairing to get at the OD light bulb on the 2nd gen?

 

I think it is the bulb or loose connection. It stopped working late last year just before I put it away and I forgot about it when I was getting the bike ready this spring, UNTIL I got on the highway.

 

It doesn't work most of the time, but it does work occassionally. It's not high on the priority list but it will get done sometime...

 

Thanks,

 

John

Think that light is built into the speedometer module. Don't know if it is replacable, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

But to at least to answer part of your question, yes you do have to split the fairing to get to the speedometer module.

Since it works sometimes, I doubt the bulb is bad. I know that it gets it's ground from a contact on the neutral switch. I would probably start there.
