it may not be able to handle it mate you may get away with it if you put LEDs in the rear light but i put a upgrade in my runner and it was rubbish.

Find out what it is like H7, H6 ... ... ... tell me what it is and i will find an upgrade for you.

35w is the maximum, after that expect things to melt.

Even at 35w my bulb holders melted (grey ones) and I had to replace them for the more robust black ones.

Increase at your peril. Thumbs Up

35w is not max mate you can buy upgrades that are like 45w /55w /85w i had a 85w in mine but it was taking to much power.

Ok, fine, your right. What would I know, I just had a NSR and upgraded the bulbs Rolling Eyes Best not make calls based on other bikes, unless it is your own you are fiddling with.

Upgrade above 35w and keep a look out for headlight looms on Ebay - you will need one soon enough. Just do a search on the topic - it has been covered plenty enough.

Put anything more than a 35w in the NSR and it is very likely to melt the plastic, no matter what this 'ped boi' who made tea in a garage says,

Doesn't the CB250 use a metal reflection bowl and a glass lens?

Probably your wiring loom and bulb holder and maybe the headlight unit if you can find one to match. There may well be other complications too.

Alternatively ride as to the conditions allow. I had no problems with 35w halogen at night and I am not aware of others suffering so much.



rob_250, how does what your bike have any bearing as to what a NSR can use? Does what my bike use have instant compatability to your bike and the NSR? Afterall, it is a Honda. Confused

Why not look at getting a HID upgrade kit. That will be the best option and won't effect the eletrics as much. The diffrence a upgraded halogen won't be that great.

Also learn to ride to what you can see.... No good blaming the headlight when you are going to fast..... Think next time you may not walk away with £500 damage...

So it wasn't your light that was the problem then. Crying or Very sad

If they said they didn't see you then swopping the light won't make any diffrence.

Bang a spot light on it with a relay to keep load off the main wiring. Thumbs Up
