It's been a while, but I'm sure I just reached up from under the fairing over the front wheel and it was't difficult.

Try changing the N/S dip beam bulb on a '10 plate Corsa SXI ! , the boy's blew and muggins said don't take it to Halfords I'll do it ....... N/S wheel, wheel arch inner and bumper off job plus Inspector Gadget arm to swap it out !!! what a faff - took ages, guess where it's going next time - I'd rather give them a fiver or the boy will

Thanks for the replies. I'll try accessing the bulbs from under the fairing and have a fiddle, it should be easier than removing fairing parts.
Hopefully I shouldn't need to change the bulbs for a while.

Dinne worry about your bulbs Mike...I recently retired a 21 yr old 4tx I had from new and I never replaced a bulb on it..
Because they hadn't blown ? or you couldn't be bothered to change them !

QUOTE(k2col @ Wed 8th Aug 2007, 02:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I've read about the airbox mods and how that can help low-rev running... could this help? Or is something wrong?
I think the airbox mod only applies to the 900, which has a flap inside which closes to reduce noise emisions at low speed. The mod just means that the flap stays open all of the time.
Mine is a 900; have just done it, but have not test ridden it yet..
