Hi i recently bought a 2005 Suzuki EN 125 for £290 it all works fine apart from the guy said the rear break light bulb used to blow frequently, i looked it up and apparently EN125's are known for bulbs blowing, but i couldn't find any solution apart from changing the bulb a lot!

Can anyone help me fix this issue? any help appreciated!

Thanks Dan.

Mine did this a while back (Gs but they may be similar???) I ended up changing the whole unit in the end. This worked so was most likely a 'piss poor' earth in the unit itself.

It probably would be alot less hassle to use LED instead, but if it was me, i'd want to figure out why it was blowing bulbs in the first place. But thats just me making things awkward for myself Laughing

Yeh it was fine. LED's can take a bit of fluctuation so crappy earth doesn't make a difference.

Same watts as what is written on your bulb, I am guessing 21w/5w
