Bcr rev counter bulbs.

Post by das bike u1100s »

Only the bottom part of my rev counter lights up, so I'm presuming two bulbs and the top one has expired. Has anyone had to change one and how easy/hard is it to do?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

It's ages since I replaced those bulbs on my 1100S ,I removed the speedo unit and dismantled it , also cleaning the inside of the glass but from memory after removing the fairing panels I think it would be possible to remove the rubber bulb holders from underneath.... if you have small hands , I can't remember being too traumatised by the experience but maybe that was my way of copimg!

Thanks for that.
I'll probably leave it till the winter now. The mot's due in June, but I can't recall him ever checking the lighting in the clocks.
