    Hello all.

    Brent from New Zealand here. New to the forum but need help!

    Just got a nice second hand VFR1200F 2010 model

    First weekend away - low beams blown

    Cant make hide nor hair of the owners manual, looks like I need to take off both side fairing panels to get top bikini/screen off to get to the panel the headlight removal/replacement section shows.....
    2 nuts behind the screen?


    Attempted going on from the side with it all assembled - DOH!

    Does anyone know of an instructional video to step by step me through this? Is there a secret to getting it done without dismantling the whole bike?


    Cheers

    On almost ALL Hondas the power to heADLIGHT goes through the START pushbutton, so your problem may lie within the switch contacts or wiring.

    Thanks. It was a bulb, my shops sales manager who reckons he is a born gynocologist got in from below and changed the bulb for me :)
    Lights work again :) (was only the low beam)
