Front indicator bulb needed

[trevorleigh]

I work in the car spares industry and I have found that Osram do these bulbs, part number is 5009. When I am back at work Monday I will check with them if they are available and how much I can get them for. already seen them online for £4.34. But I should be able to get them cheaper as we buy direct, will post when I know.

Top job Trevor, just checked out the bulb I took out of the indicator and it is an Osram 5009. That link on amazon though says estimated delivery time 13th - 17th March. I was at the confirming order stage when I saw that I thought better of it. I don't fancy being off the road for 3-4 weeks for the sake of an indicator bulb.

Certainly seems to be a supply problem for these bulbs.

I will give Osram a call on Monday and see if I can get some as we have a direct account with them, will let you know

Thanks Trevor, you the man!

I'll wait and see what they tell you before I go spend £90 on the Yamaha LED indicators.

Update on this bulb is: I have been to my Yamaha dealer and they want £11.72 for 1 indicator bulb. I said no.

After a bit of wrangling and bringing up the seat I ordered with them and their shoddy performance regarding that I managed to wangle a full set of Genuine Yamaha LED indicators for £66 which should have been £89.98.

So no more bulbs needed just got to work out fitting the LED indicators. From what I can see the fronts need to remove the fly screen to get to remove the old ones and fit the new ones. As for the rears I haven't even looked yet.

LED indicators fitted and I have to say the finished product is most impressive. Although, plug and play? MY ARSE!

The wiring loom on the bike has different connectors to the ones which come on the genuine Yamaha LED indicator kit. The bike has spades in the plastic plug but the indicators come with bullet connectors and obviously don't fit.

This leaves you either needing to butcher the loom on the bike (no way), or butcher the wiring on the ne indicators and fit spades to them to fit the plug on the loom, so this is what I had to do.

There's a hell of a lot of stripping down to do to get them off too, not easy and I'm glad I had help.

Did u remember to secure the resistors to something metal? If u didn't ull find that they mite stop working soon. Had mine put on today in the workshop at my local dealers and it took us almost 3 hours as we had to strip the front end off to install them. Wot a nightmare lol

 

[pipski99]

Did you find the same as me? Bullet connectors on the indicators but spades on the bike loom?

Not sure what you mean about securing the resistors to something metal - they're in-line resistors so the loom goes in one side and the indicator goes out the other side. You don't need to ground them as far as I know and the resistor is sealed in a plastic casing.

 

[pipski99]

Pics of the tail piece- took it off and worked on it on the bench which made life easier, but meant all the plastics on the rear end had to come off too.

3 hours to replace indicators think al stick with what I got lol

Yes bloody bullet connections...don't know y Yamaha do that as most the bikes they produce now have spade connections on the looms

 

[UnluckySlats]

Just removed them and hard wired mine
into the original loom. I made the looms
smaller so I didn't have unnecessary
lengths of wire to sort

 

[Stripy]

I'd return them to Yamaha - this is clearly a fault providing the incorrect plugs/connectors.

Any luck with this, Trevorleigh?
