Hi,
Does anyone know if and how I can change the bulb on my instrument pannel? The bulb for the speedo has gone so at night I have to guess what speed I'm doing, great fun but the old bill dont seem to be so keen!!!!!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mick

I've got this problem on my triumph tt 600. I know how to remove my fairing but I'm a bit nervous about taking apart the clocks unit. Guess I should give it a go.

You dont need to take clocks apart you just pull out the rubbr gromits in the back of the clocks there also the bulb holders

I always push the undone bolt back through the holes in the fairing when you are taking it off. That way you don't end up with a fairing on the floor with a small pile of bolts with no idea which one goes where.
