I need to find a bulb that is 12v that will fit in the YSR 50 stock space. I don't want to have to cut the fairing to get the one from my other bike in there. Any suggestions or solutions? I need to have this by Saturday so I can get this bike to a car show!

You can modify the YSR headlamp to fit a 12v bulb.

here's some instructions....courtesy of Lance
his YSR website: YSR Riders Unite Message Board - 12volt conversion

*First you need to melt the solder around the bulb

*After the bulb falls in brake the glass bulb. Then just pore out the broken glass.

*Youll need a needle nose pliers to remove the metal part of the bulb.

*Youll need a light as a doaner Dont forhet th get the electrical "pigtail" ( most any old headlight will work, just needs to have replaceable light. I might be able to get you one if needed)

*Then you remove the bulb holder from the doaner light. (be sure to test fit. You need to turn on the bulb & make sure that the headlight is in focus.. Move it in or out till it is. If you dont you may end up with a black spot.... where you cant see when riding at night. You can use a washer if it needs to come out)

*If its metal you just solder it back on. (or you can use Jb weld Just be sure everything is roughed up & clean.)
If plastic you need to use JB weld. ( dont wory the JB weld can take the heat. I believe its rated for 800 degrees. Ive done it both ways & have no problems with the JB weld.)

*Change the pigtail......

Here's his email airdreams1@yahoo.com if you wish to get more details about the mod. He has done a few of them for other YSR owners.

Sweet I can do that I am a soldiering Whiz!!! I one rebuilt an ECM for my FZR 600 with radioshack parts to keep my bike going until the one I ordered got in!

I did the conversion with some JB weld and a Sylvania 55\60 watt low/high 4200k Halogen bulb. I actually have light now when I ride!!!

Manimal

I used a 9003 Style bulb as well because it was easy to find a plug for it to plug into. I just wired the plug into my harness and it worked. I need to switch the wires though because its backwards High=low & lowo=high beam... Yeah Im nit picky but its what I do.

waiting on sprocket....... friday hopefully!
