A fellow rider commented recently that he thought my indicators looked dim.
My first thought was to tell him to put his specs on but he may be right.
On my 900 the indicators are amber with clear lenses and the bulb is 10w.
If I remember correctly the bulb on my old 850 was 21w.

I have seen on the webmoto site that they list a 23w amber bulb with the same size and fitting.

My question is would it be a straightforward replacement?

I have aftermarket clear lens/orange bulbs on my 900, just had a look and mine are also 10w, I will check wattage of the original clear bulb/orange lens set when I get the chance and report back.

9ers are 10w as std & Ohm's law sez 23w lamps not a good idea. Watts=Volts x Amps 46w (2 lamps on), =12v x 3.8A versus std 20w= 12v x 1.7A Double the values again for hazards lamps on.
