Top job mate! For us fz6 owners you are providing great maintenance advice.
Thank you! Glad it’s useful 👍
Perfect! I've been meaning to change my headlights for a few weeks now, but I wanted to learn more about my bike rather than taking it to the mechanic - great video
Glad I could help!
Great video...very clear and changed bulb in my FZ8 exactly the way he said. Great too that he specified the bulbs for both dip and full beam lights.
Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful 👍ride safe!
Very good video! Clear and detailed! Thank you
Thank you for watching. Hope it was useful 👍
What a great video! Clear, simple, no fuss. Love it. Will be doing this later! Thank you sir :)
Thank you. Really glad you found it useful. Ride safe!
Great video, but I just wanted to say that you should always try to not touch the glass part of the bulbs when putting them back into the headlight, the grease on your hands can cause them to fail prematurely.
Thank you for sharing! I didn’t know that. That’s really useful 👍
@@FabMotorbikes They must make them with better glass now, I have wiped out several bulbs touching them way less than in this video. They say you can wipe them off with alcohol to remove the hand oils but to be honest I have had bulbs fail after doing that too. Makes me wonder if that's an old wives tale or not because you clearly show its not an issue in this video.
@@smoke05s you may have a good point. Its something I had never really thought about and never had a single problem with.
Exactly! When dealing with bulbs I always wear nitrile gloves just to be safe
Am told that grease from fingers shortens the life of the bulb but how that can be verified I'm not sure
thanks brotha! super easy to do on an FZ1.
You’re welcome my friend 👍
Do you have any idea of where can I see how to change/swap a parking light?
Sorry not had to do this yet. I imagine the process is not hugely different, but I can’t be sure until I do it . Thank you for watching
Thank you for the video. Everything is accessible and understandable.
No problem glad it was helpful
Hi mate, i was wondering if you had ever replace the "daylight" bulbs on you fazer. There is 2 and one of mine died XD So i was looking to replace all bulbs by LED that my yamaha dealership have. They are legal so, no blinding other drivers, and they are apparently plug and play. But for having a full nice looking of the front, i was looking at replacing all 4 bulbs and not only the daylight ones.
Hi I’ve not had to do those ones yet. But I think the process is very similar.
Hello! Can you tell me how to change the little lights on the sides of the headlights? and what kind of light bulb is it?
greetings from Mexico!
hello! and greetings from the UK. For this you will need a 12v 5W bulb. see here>> amzn.to/2ZuTudA And so install you will need to remove the black inner section of the fairing. They are simply held in my rubber mountings and gcan easily be pulled out. I hope this was of any help . Thanks for watching!
Fabian, the FZ6 that I got is a 2008 S2 model and the previous owner has altered the headlight by making both sides work simultaneously at all times (instead of having just one side work as they usually do). Do you think it could ever cause some sort of issue, be it battery related or any other type? I'd appreciate your opinion. Thank you in advance!
Having in mind that both of them turn on as soon as I turn the key (engine not started). I wonder if it could ever cause any issue.
Hi Aleks, I cant imagine it being a huge issue. I would just be extra careful to NOT leave the bike with the ignition on with out the engine running for too long. You may also want to ride at around 5,000 rpm for a little every so often. As this is peak charging level for he battery. But overall it should be fine.
Thank you for such a fast reply! And if I'm standing in neutral and just revving at 5000rpm - would that charge the battery just as good as driving, what do you think?
I do this regularly. But difficult to do for enough time without annoying neighbours 🤣
Do you know the type of the parking / auxiliary light bulbs?
Based on my manual for my bike. There isn’t anything in ‘parking’ or ‘auxiliary’ bulbs. But there is a side light bulb, which sits up in the corner of the headlight. This is a 5W bulb.
@@FabMotorbikes Its referred as ‘auxiliary’ bulb on mine but its the one that sits up in the corner of the headlight indeed. After some search I found it as a T10 12v 5w bulb by Osram. Thank you for your fast reply and keep up the good work! 👍👍
No problem. Thank you for watching 👍
Why 🤔 is the h4 is on the right side it's do deap and full beam h7 is just full beam? I don't understand it's should be h4 on the low beam all the time and both will be full beam when you need it
I agree it’s quite odd. I have wondered this myself.
Having only one headlight “working” most of the time is a little odd looking too.
Although some have the theory that it’s not safe for motorcycles to have two headlights on as in the dark they can appear to be a car that is much further away, opposite to a much closer motorcycle.
Did take me ages, the metal clip was a pain to release and to fasten.
It can happen. I remember the first time I did it, I even unscrewed the clip completely unnecessarily 🤣
simple an how it is don ❤
Ps. never put your fat finger on the bulb it self ;-)
Thank you! And cheers for the tip, I did not know this previously 👍
Fun fact, on my 2005 the low beam is on the right side
Haha 😊 that is a fun fact. Why is that?
@@FabMotorbikes either because of a EU version or because yamaha i guess 😂
I recon perhaps it’s an EU import. Still a fun little fact though 👍
@@FabMotorbikes well given that i am in the EU it could make sense. I am a bit sad we never got the day light driving indicators, they look awesome.
why would you do a video installation guide and edit out the fiddly parts which will annoy people.
Haha excellent point
Sure not a tmax
Every bike slightly different i guess
