I can't see any reference to bulbs... I think they maybe built in LEDs. I expect someone has had theirs apart..Hi all, I don’t have access to my bike at the moment, so can anyone tell me which bulbs fit in the Instrument warning lights ? ( specifically the fuel and indicators) as they are too dim and I’d like to replace them with LED’s.
Cheers,
cliffa.
Thanks very much, that would be great. I was out in the sunshine the other week and didn’t spot that the fuel light had come on, but had no idea when.I pressed the clock reset button too many times a while back and my speedo light stopped working, the factory told me it is a sealed unit with LED's and would need replacing. But when I took it for a service and some warranty work, someone realised it was just the sequence that i pressed the button and had dimmed them to minimum. So maybe you just need to reset them. I will try and track down the info I think they emailed me about it. I think the little service manual states somethimg about it.
Thanks again !!Found the conversation about this:-
I had the same problem. Spoke with Rob Jameson and he informed me it was a sealed unit so would have to be changed. Asked for that recently under warrantee and someone there then realised that I had probably lowered the illumination level myself by pressing the button in the wrong sequence. It was probably when I tried to reset the time and I was just pressing and holding and hadn't a clue. page 113-114 in the small booklet is where you should find your answwer so I was told. Mine is fine now
Just looked at the book but not very clear but guessing you just scroll through options and illumination comes up ( i recall Marie from service saying).

Thanks I’ll check that out. That sort of unintended technical excellence is right up my alley.

Congratulations to Welshrugby, i had the same feedback from Rob J so hadn't investigated further.
Just had a play and if you turn the key on then hold the toggle switch down for a couple of seconds ILL shows up, then short prods on the button scrolls through 0 - 9. At 5 hey presto i have a speedo backlight again. I like a cheap fix.

Thanks for posting this Welshrugby, what the chance of finding that out by chance, I will try it tomorrow..I pressed the clock reset button too many times a while back and my speedo light stopped working, the factory told me it is a sealed unit with LED's and would need replacing. But when I took it for a service and some warranty work, someone realised it was just the sequence that i pressed the button and had dimmed them to minimum. So maybe you just need to reset them.
