VERY EASY! Kawasaki Ninja 250 headlight bulb replacement

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Please remember the black base of the bulb as it won't fit properly without it!!!
Thanks to all of those who are happy with the video and are being helped!
After researching on KZread and Google without finding a good video showing how to replace the headlight bulb on a Kawasaki Ninja 250 2008, I decided to make one myself to help you guys out.
People say it's very hard, takes long time, need to open the whole front cover etc. It's NOT HARD AT ALL!
You will replace it in less than 5 min!
Just one good advice!
DO NOT TOUCH THE LIGHT GLOBE!! (glass part) Hold on the metal part. Touching the glass with bare hands may result in the globe overheating and burning out prematurely.
If the globe has come int contact with your skin, clean it with methylated spirits on a clean cloth.
Thanks for watching!

    My light just burnt out and was just about to take all the front fairings and plastics off until I watched this. Thanks, you're a life saver.

    Started my 09 250 ninja yesterday morning and bulb blew within 5 seconds. I rode to work and back with my bright on. Glad to see this video and see how to change it. Thanks a lot awesome video.

    Good video, just wanted to add, for those who want to change the park light bulb. All you need to do is to locate the wire that goes to the park bulb with your fingers, follow the wire to the rubber socket holding the park bulb in place, then just use force and pull it out and it will eventually pop out. Removing the bulb from the rubber socket is the same procedure, just pull the bulb out from the socket.

    Hey, I wanted to thank you for this video. Like many others, i was convinced the front fairing had to be removed. It took me about 10 minutes to swap the bulb with this video, just had to feel around a bit.

    Thanks! You saved me about three hours taking apart the fairings and such. With a mirror, I was able to do the job pretty easily. One things that is missing in this video is the part where you take off the black piece that is connected to the old bulb and connect it to the new bulb. Kawasaki sells their bulbs for $35, but I got my OEM bulb at a Honda-Yamaa dealer for $12. I've seen them at Sears for $2.50 with 500 hour life. Thanks again for this video.

    Im a noob and it was my first attempt to fix something on a bike on my own and that missing part of the video costed me an hour of struggling to remove the new bulb that i stuck into the headlight area because the video didnt show the need to remove the black thing

  • @xfiredancerx34
    @xfiredancerx3412 жыл бұрын

    Thank you so much. Only thing I might add is to make sure when you pull the old light out, pull off the black connector at the base of the lightbulb because you need that when you put the new one in :) But this really did save me a ton of time and effort. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
