Hi there

my bike petrol switch is on wrong, straight down is off and to the right is reserve I think.... etc etc. Is it easy to remove and put it back on correctly without too much major work?

Also I wanted to replace the sidelights with brighter led ones so removed one and they are tiny.... What are they called so I can search flea bay.

If you petrol switch is working I say just leave it.

Not sure what you mean by your second question??

led bulbs wont last 5 mins with the heat of headlights/highbeam,

so what i did and modified my headlights to run uk wedge 5w bulbs

UK 5W Bulb Conversion. i should make a how too shouldnt i really, but ill copy this into the side light thread so if anyone searches it comes up.

i used 5w osram blue bulb.

Do you really need sidelight bulbs?

Ride with the lights on all the while, you'll be seen better.

Most new bikes (even my zxr) the lights are always on when the bike is running.

Sidelight bulbs are ok I suppose if your parked up and set the bike to 'park' but i usually park the right way and my rear light is on :)

the jdm zxr and nc24 dont' have sidelights. although the 24 does have twin filmanet indicators which are always on as side-lights.

Ok back to the petrol tap thing, if straight down is off which is reserve and on, so I dont run out of fuel....

all the way anti clockwise is main tank, all the way clockwise is reserve :)

If you have a haynes manual it might well tell you how to disassemble the fuel tap :)
