          How did you change it,please give some instructions.And is the osram better than the stock bulb,because the low beam projector spreads the light too much.

            I'm using Philips Xtreme Vision on the projector, and it is about the same in terms of power and spread as the stock bulb. But the stock bulb blows out in a few months, and the Xtreme Vision has lasted longer on all kinds of terrain. Haven't used Osram Night Breaker yet, so can't comment.

            There is no need to open the fairing to change the low beam (projector) bulb. Any competent mechanic can do it from below.

            Just make sure it's aligned correctly, otherwise it'll feel like a candle

              Just got back from a 2,250 km trip to Sikkim (from Calcutta). A friend accompanied me with his Impulse.

              Except for the back-breaking ride quality, the AS200 managed fine throughout. Above 16,500 feet or so, the bike couldn't go uphill with me sitting on it (I didn't make any changes to the carb/AFR settings). So, I had to put the bike in 1st gear, slip the clutch and walk alongside (same with the Impulse). The maximum we went up to was Gurudongmar Lake, at 17,100 feet.

              Attaching some photographs from the trip...

                What did the mechanic exactly do?

                  Those pictures are absolutely stunning.
                  Its the fusion of a two wheeled machine & a human being which creates a true biker.

                    Thanks!

                    The mechanic put his arm in from below the fairing and changed the bulb. No parts removed

                              To be honest, the bike started losing power as early as 8,000-9,000 feet, though not significantly. Beyond 12,000 feet, the loss became noticeable, and I had to maintain momentum and low revs to keep going. Whenever I tried to rev the engine, the bike started sputtering, so I backed off the throttle.

                              With steady low revs, it was easy enough to get to 16,500 feet or so - the bike didn't complain, though we had to go really slowly.

                              Beyond that, there was no tarmac, and the slope became steeper. That is when I had to occasionally walk alongside the bike, with it running in 1st gear. Had to slip the clutch, too.

                                After my ladakh experience, I have always wondered whether AFR adjustment screw would help a bit in this situation (i.e. Tuning it to lean side, or completely blocking it). Did you give any afterthought on this?
