I like the fact that you indicate exactly where each new step begins; very helpful.

From Australia. Really well done mate, very accurate.

Thanks for letting me know how to replace the fairing as I have a 2012 Ninja 250

I remember my first time in 2008. Once I saw how it worked I swore I would never again do it the way the manual says! I can’t imagine doing all this to avoid spiders. ;)

Some people get angry at me for taking the fairings off in this video. If I didn’t take the fairings off, I wouldn’t get good lighting or camera angles. So it’s irrelevant to me whether one needs to or not.

@@ninja250motorcyclemaintena7 My elderly mother is a hoarder and routinely keeps things indoors that have no business being there. I recently found that she had taken the stand I use for gluing and painting things outdoors, which was now a seemingly permanent part of her bathroom. It was a cracked Rubbermaid footstool, no longer useful for standing on due to the crack, turned upside down in the shower being used as a bucket to store other junk. She objected to me taking it back outside because it was “filthy” before she cleaned it up. I explained that it doesn’t matter since it belongs outside and it gets covered with newspaper while in use. That’s when she resorted to fear mongering about spiders. I had just watched your video and told her that fear of spiders alone isn’t a good reason to spend the better part of an hour doing something that otherwise takes seconds. Getting a good camera view to show others what they need to do since they we be going in blind (literally) is a much better reason! ;)

Great video of all the uninstalling and replacement of lights way to go thanks for all your work and time

I can confirm that the bulbs can explode if you contaminate them with your hand oils. This happened to me with the bulb in my sister’s early/mid-‘90s Ford Escort hatchback. The officer didn’t believe I had just replaced it until I showed him the receipt and box that were still in the passenger seat.

Cuz he scared of spiders

Cool today i installed gear indicators in my ninja video on my channel Kawasaki give gears indicators slot

when i went to take my retaining clip off, it was not swinging like yours, it just fell right out after i unclipped it. i was able to lock it back in place, but it is not seated under the screw, it is just friction forced up against the screw. i'm assuming i need to loosen the screw a tiny bit and put the retaining clip under the screw?

Probably. Don't know. Never dealt with that issue on my bike.

Would you kindly recommend a few LED light bulbs that will really fit?

Hello. I have never used LEDs. I know that they are the best technology, but I prefer to keep my bike stock, so I stick with halogens.

I just changed a bulb on a 2008 .... took all of 5 minutes and didn't have to remove any body work. There is plenty of room to reach in from the side (opposite side of the bulb works best) and access the bulbs.

I've done it without removing the fairings also. But filming that would be nearly impossible. Also, spiders are always a risk when your reaching into a dark place.

You can try buying a used one on Ebay or Amazon or you can buy from an OEM parts supplier like Partzilla. If you go to the Partzilla website, you can find the part number on one of their diagrams. Go to OEM parts and enter the motorcycle info.

None of this work is necessary. Turn your handlebars full lock to the left (Low Beam Bulb), pull off the wiring connector, pull off the round rubber cover, unfasten the clip holding H7 bulb in, and replace. Of course this is all done blindly, but only took 5 minutes the first time.

Are you serious? Sounds like you're trolling me. This video is for educational purposes, not for entertainment. The purpose of this video is to show people the back of the headlight. Once people see what it looks like, and how the dust cover is removed, and how the retainer clip is removed, they will be much more comfortable sticking their hands in there. Showing people the back of the headlight is much better than describing it. If you're smarter than me, you would understand this. Sometimes people will pull entire engines out of motorcycles for educational purposes, not because it makes things easier for them, but because it makes it easier for viewers to see. Would you watch this video and criticize them for pulling the engine out (kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYeXurl-n7bXqbA.html)? Or would you thank them for taking the time to do this so that people can see the engine better? You don't seem to understand the difference between education and entertainment. Clearly, no one is watching my videos for entertainment. You need to get your head in the right place.

51 minutes to change a bulb? gah dayum
