    • Headlight

      hi guys.. i want to know how to remove the headlight visor (front glass) from the rest of the assembly ??
      My headlight assembled on the bike currently has a broken front glass & I have a spare headlight assembly whose front visor is ok but rest of the body is badly damaged..
      So I just wish to change the visor .. I tried but it is tightly glued with rest of the body. Is there any way to remove the glass visor intact without the use of blow gun?? I tried with few local mechanics but none is ready to do the work.

        apart from the blow gun there is one more way....

        you can put the entire assembly in the oven for a few minutes and the whole assembly will come out.... you may have to keep some point in considerations....

        1. have oven mitts on.
        2. try not to melt the plastic of the reflector by overheating...
        3. remember you just need to melt the glue a little bit...

            many people have tried it before and it works everytime....

            plus you have to anyways buy a new headlight unit so its worth the risk...

              Before going for anything permanent, why don't you try adjusting the angle of the throw of the light. My high beam reaches the top branches of a tree standing 10 mtrs away, so I was going to get it done too. Some ppl here have already had it done and are much more satisfied with the illumination. Just give it a go (it aint much work, just a screw needs to be turned.. no opening required, SVC guy will do it in under a minute prolly) and if you are still not happy with it, ppl here say that the OSRAM Night breaker of the same rating as the stock light is a good fit and is generally better without looking very illegal. Other owners - correct me if I am wrong plz.

              P.S. : The xBhp sticker on ur bike's tank looks gr8 .. gels well with the tank colour

                    Do we have the required tool in the toolkit provided by Yamaha?

                        Fifth service over. As usual, no oil change. Only wash and lube.

                        Still returning healthy 50+ kmpl most of the time. Occasional 38-45 kmpl on heavy city use.

                          yes very much , like mentioned , just a size 10 spanner ... below the headlight , on the assy itself is a the bolt that adjusts the beam , loosen it , turn on the light , focus the beam as per your requirement , tighten it and your done ...

                          P.S: Guys if u remember i had posted about having an air leakage problem on both my tyres , now I had been to the SVC , told them about it , I made the chief mech there check for puncture , valves and also the rim and he found no leakage , but i'm still having the problem , three days it drops from 28psi to 6 or 7 psi (front) and from 33 to about 14psi (rear), really getting annoyed now

                          here's the pic of the bolt
