October 23, 200817 yr i have had my gasgas 09 125 for a few weeks now,and the little led light at the front has broken,so i went to get a new bulb for it. I came back with a 12v 20watt halogen bulb i fitted it, its quite bright and it gives out a little bit of heat like the hologen ones do but i was wondering if fitting this bulb will dammage the electronics on the bike at all.the bulb that i took out of it was a 20 led 12v 3watt bulb.
October 23, 200817 yr My guess is that the surrounding area has not been heat tested, for the extra temperature the Halogen will produce ! So the choice is yours !
October 23, 200817 yr Author i have just been riding about with the light on for a few minutes,the light gets warm but not hot enough to melt the plastic, i dont think the bulb is being given enough power to light the bulb to its full brightness.any help appreciated.
October 24, 200817 yr You need a bulb of the same watts as the original.The 20w bulb needs more power than the bike can generate,thats why its dim,might burn out the coils that provide the power.Do you really need a light on a trials bike?
October 24, 200817 yr Author no,you dont realy need a light, i would hardly use it, just looks a bit strange when there is no bulb in the socket. but thanks for the advice
October 25, 200817 yr Why not simply remove the light and keep it safe until you either need to ride at night or until you sell the bike? In the meantime, get a front number plate holder which is attahced with cable ties and keep your front numbers nice and clean and dry.
