headlight bulbs

[bob64bob]

the bulbs i have in at the moment are 12/60/35 which the local bike shop is struggling to get, are these from Kawasaki dealers only ?

cheers

Bulbs are usually an easily available after market item.............................but then what model are you talking about ?

I suspect that H model headlight bulbs are not so readily available

From memory there's a bulb that can be modified to make it fit the H it might even be a L one


L model bulbs are available from Wemoto for 3 quid

And at a guess any decent motor factors will have them too.


As ever helpful polite and unpatronising

The ones from wemoto will be H4 55/60w which need one of the tabs bending to make them fit.

To get the correct 35/60w bulb have a look at http://www.kawasakioriginalparts.com as they do them there. They're about 20 quid each though, but I'd sooner pay that once in a blue moon than modify the wrong sized part to fit

[bob64bob]

i am getting confused, so my L9 is a uk spec bike should it use the 35W or 55W bulbs ?

[bob64bob]

according to the kawasaki site it should be 12V 60/35W which is £30


thanks for your help

[bendog66]

Yes, that's the one. I checked shortly after posting that. Very occasionally you'll find a NOS one on ebay going cheap.

Thinking about it I might have one or two headlight bulbs lurking somewhere.........maybe even still in a headlight.
