Hi there.
I have F800GS 2016.
I have broke one of the rear signal.
Anyone know how to change that ?

My 2014 F800GSA blows the headlight bulb frequently - once every fortnight or so, and I am not riding much in that time.

This only started happening recently, never had a problem before. Bulbs would last a couple of years or so, I replaced mine at least three times so far.

My GS-911 diagnostic unit does not indicate any issue, so this is puzzling me. I can only imagine an electrical spikes might cause it, but this is a guess ..

Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks
Chris

While this article might not help owners of F800 models, it might just help owners of the F750/850 bikes some day.
