The other day I started the bike and immediately got a bulb out warning for the left rear turn signal. This is the first bulb failure I’ve had in about 10 years. Last was low beam on my F800 while on a trip in 2008.
Anyway, it turns out the 5009 bulb is basically unobtainium except at a motorcycle dealer. I ordered on Amazon on 5/22 and now have delivery schedule of 6/14 to 7/8 (shipped from China). Doesn’t do much good for me with Helen coming up. So yesterday I went to Wagner’s (closest dealer in Worcester, MA) anc got the bulb plus a spare. Also got a spare battery for the key fob so I don’t get stranded. These spares will be in my tank bag from now on.
I guess this says something about the quality of our chosen ride. Can’t find any real problems to post about
Does anyone know about an led option that doesn’t require resistor games?
