Hey everyone,

I haven't used this for a while as I took a break from the biking, I am now on my new bike and I just have a quick question.

The bike is Ybr 125 59plate, the light on low beam is just S**t, I can't even see in front of me.

Any ideas what the problem is, it is on but its not enough.

Anyway nice to be back

There are typically two bulbs in s head light.
There is the parking light and the double filamented dip/main beams.
Are you sure the dip filament hasn't blown and you are 't riding on the parking light (which is on all the time).

I second Cabs post. Failing that, check that the beam is actually directed at the road correctly. If that fails, consider investing in a set of PIAA bulbs, they worked wonders on my old Sv.

I think it has blown because its basically the same light when the engine is on and off, I'll double check it anyway only got it last night

My ex had one of those, and the light was so shit even with both bulbs that he fitted a universal spotlight just under the main light and hooked it up to the standard beam

Thanks for all the replies, this is what I plan on doing I'm going to fit some sort of HID upgrade kit. I understand the power difference so I'm going to either get the best 35w bulbs I can or find a conversion kit either way I've just pointed my headlight down for now so I'm using my high beam haha
