Help!!!! Are there any hints to help in replacing the main headlight bulb. According to rider manual, remove airfilter and put hand up behind boot, remove boot, release clip and pull bulb out. Simple if you have a 4year old size hand !!!!!!!!! Myself and a m/cycle mechanic have both spent an hour each trying, hands too bloody big, only a small child hand will fit, and then they not capable of following instructuions. A real cock-up from Vision designers.

Yeah, tried this about two years ago, you have to remove the windshield assecc panel, the belly pan, both front grills. It was a major pain if you know what I mean, then still squeeze your hand up there to release some clips. Seemed like I almost had to remove the whole front end panels and finially I got to the bulbs so I replaced them both, just to make sure I had new bulbs, except the HID. Only problem was one of the bulbs burn out 6 to 8 weeks after I got to ride it again so next time I let the dealer do it with a service and the cost was only $25 labor. Hell, I would have paid $100. I learn a lesson there, some things I can do and some things I don't want to do and those things will go to the dealer, he seems to treat me pretty well. Hope your project is a success Grumpy.

pull the air filter then adjust your headlight up gives you the most room. OR
