YBR HEADLIGHT AND GEARS
Just got a couple of things that have been annoying me slightly but not affecting me that much. The headlight Bulb keeps blowing I've had two since I bought it. I understand this might be a loose wire or bad connections which I plan on doing when I've got a free day. Do you think I'm right on that or is it something more?
Also when riding the bike it drops out of 2nd into Neutral, I'm just wondering weather this is the clutch adjustment or if the slightest tap off my foot is doing this, not yet figured that bit out yet haha.
My main problem is the bulb but should it be dropping into Neutral that easy.

Jumping out of second I'm going to presume a faulty gear box I know the thundercat was a common problem with this

Re: YBR HEADLIGHT AND GEARS
Try a different lever position or move your ass backward on the saddle. This to give you a more positive click in to second.
Lights, check you battery is fully topped and the correct specification.

Re: YBR HEADLIGHT AND GEARS
I'll check that, is it possible the rectifier is charging too much bowing the bulb and apparently the gearbox thing is common in the ybr. That's a bit shit haha

Re: YBR HEADLIGHT AND GEARS
Headlight, if it's blowing regularly it could be an earth fault, earthing onto the cowling. Check all the insulation around the wiring and bulb holder. Also check for water ingress should show up as green fur on connectors.
The problem could also be down to vibration, if the light rattles about the frequency of the vibration will cause the bulb to blow. Put the bulb in and tap the light see if the bulb moves about.
Usually a bit of rubber packing or some silicon can cure it.
For the gear change check the gear lever moves freely up wards it could just be dry and need some lubrication. Sod it lubricate all the gear shift mechanism with oil then spray grease over the joints. Check for excess play in all the joints.
