The standard headlights in an NSR125 is 25/25W. I replaced my bulbs with 40/45 Bosch bulbs (these cost around £2.50 each). Only one small problem, they can run down your battery very quickly especially if you are around town sitting at traffic lights, so I had to buy a battery otimiser which helped a lot. If your gunna change your bulbs id recommend 35/35w bosch bulbs, they wont be so sore on the battery. You will regret fitting more powerful ones, believe me they are very fiddly to replace!

I recently ordered 35W bosch fitting halogens from Simon Goodman Engineering from the internet which cost about £6 each. (Halogens are 300% brighter than standard bulbs, havent heard of anyone fitting them with any success, but gunna give it a go).

Its a good idea to change the standard bulbs, they are totally crap. Honda have informed me they were restricted in fitting more powerful bulbs because of the battery capacity. It certainly is a design problem because its very hard to be seen with the standard headlights on during the day. I've seen scooters with better headlights!.

The part number you want is:

the site web address is:

https://www.123bikes.co.uk/acatalog/index.html?http%3A//www.123bikes.co.uk/acatalog/XS_PARTS_BULBS___LIGHTING_184.html&CatalogBody

Ive been told that the bosch (bayonet) halogens should fit, you can get 45w ones if you want. Ive recently ordered mine, and just waiting for them. Will let you know when ive fitted them Dylan. Cheers mate.

I changed my bulbs to 12v bosch 35w Halogens at the weekend. They are superb. No problems fitting them whatsoever.

No need to create fake news; he IS risky:
https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/10010859.Salesman_who_conned_car_buyers_to_pay___16k/

He also has dem dissolved companies in his past, just like Creg Fitz:
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/05328059/filing-history

I wonder if he's told his insurance company about his convictions and compulsory winding up / striking off notices? I doubt it. Maybe someone should tip them the wink........

[Owner of kars.co.uk trading as motorbikebuyer.co.uk] Asrar Ahmed described the cars he sold through his company, Kars.co.uk, as being in good condition - when in fact the five vehicles were riddled with mechanical defects.

Ahmed, the managing director of the website, was brought before the courts by Buckinghamshire Trading Standards and charged with five offences under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations.

An Aylesbury Crown Court jury this week found him guilty of all the offences and he was sentenced yesterday.

He was ordered to pay £14,000 prosecution costs - along with a £15 victim surcharge - fined £1,000, and ordered to pay a total of £1,268 to three of the customers he swindled.

If anyone fancies calling 'Shaun' to inquire about this little beauty then do feel free:

https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bikes-for-sale/yamaha/cygnus-x/3489277/

'Shaun' is on 07890567205. He doesn't specify a best time to call so 2am should probably be fine.

Just to confirm that 'Shaun' is Kars:

You can also sell your van to 'Shaun':

I'm sure he needs some calls about some vans.

He put money in BulbPal but is still waiting... developer states UK does not have the right darkness of night-time to test the product.

Asrar Ahmed sounds like Adam Aarons to me.
Also finned £14,000, just about covered by the fund raising page.
I'm on to you
