2009 XTX: Rear bulb keeps blowing
Hi Guys
Been running my XTX for about 6 weeks now after buying it 2nd hand. The bike was registered in May, so less than 6 months old. Had a problem tonight - basically noticed as putting my gloves on ready to ride home from work that the tail light wasnt on. Under Insvestigation it was the tail element in th e bulb broken. Luckily there is a car workshop round the corner so got a new bulb fitted - Lovely. Rode 12miles to tesco to fill up and guess what? Bloody light off again!! Just what you need in pitch black and foggy conditions!! Obviosly lost no. plate too....Luckily brake light works still. When I got home I checked bulb again and it had gone black and sooty this time. Could this be vibration?? (rear light seems to pivot?)
Too late to call Yamaha when I got in but as the nearest dealer is a 50mile round trip I wondererd if any one experienced this? Obviously may be something simple but am reluctant to take it anywhere but Yamaha as it is still under warranty. Im fortunate to own another bike that will come out of hibernation for rest of week but it is a pain in the arse!!!
Thanks in advance
