Gauge bulb replacement

Subject: Gauge bulb burned out.

How do I replace the bulb in the speedometer?

Typically it just involves taking the back off of the instrument. pulling the bulb holder out of its hole, and replacing your bulb.

This is typically covered in the owners manual. If not, then the service manual. Both can be found on Bikecliff's Website, or at least one that's close enough to your bike (whatever that is) to be helpful.

Suggest putting your bike info in your signature. Then you'll never have to remember to type it again and no one will have to ask. Just trying to help.

Like Rich, I am going to have to make a few assumptions.
1. This is on a motorcycle.
2. This is on a Suzuki.
3. This is on a GS-series bike.

What Rich suggested is correct, but there are several differences with the different models. If I gave you detailed instructions based on my '80 850G, they would not work on your '80 1100E. The basic principle is the same: remove the back of the instrument cluster (might have to remove the headlight to access that), remove the rubber plug that holds the bulb, change the bulb, put it all back together.

Sorry, can't even recommend which bulb to have on-hand before knowing which bike you have, some of them are different, too.

It's a good idea to edit your signature in the profile section & stick your bike model & year in there. You'll see mine below. That way anything you post gets related to that model (s) automatically, you don't have to keep telling us what you got
