Hi,
I have had nothing but problems with the instrument bulbs flickering on and off and bulbs falling out and the grey instrument bulb holders dropping out of front as they wont stay in. Anyone know the exact type these 12v 3w instrument bulbs should be ? Basically it seems wemoto have ones with a 5mm base and a 9mm base and then there are ones on ebay with varying sized width and depths. Or alternatively another idiot light setup off another kawasaki ? that can be put on instead as these ones are crap (ive had 2 different ones and both do the same)
Thanks.

I already did (new dials and idiot light section with all wires) and its crap as well. The bulb holders never stay in properly and several different types of the bulbs ive used (possibly wrong sizes) keep flickering on and off and falling out of the holders (because they wont stay in properly) and because ive tried to put holders back in (with fairing on) and knocked the bulbs off into the bellypan blackhole never to be seen again.

Hi Vector,
Just been out to the garage to pull one out and....
Cant get the sodding thing out of the idiot light holder...
Anyway, I have to take the fairing off tomozz anyway (need to tinker about getting the horn working)
So will give you a definitve answer then....
Is it the size of the base of the bulb you want?
Or
The rubber bung thing that the bulb sits in???
