Thanks .. Dale

Dale, from memory....I think there is two (...or maybe juz one...not enough b/cells workin' here ATM) latch-style clips holding it in from behind....get someone with really small hands to reach up from underneath and unclip them.....the h/light assembly base should then pull straight out the back.....

Remove the Splash plate above the Front Guard 6 push clips first

Remove and replace the nose a few times until you enjoy it. It's overkill, but changing the bulb with big hands is a pain not worth going through. Besides, you don't have to change the bulb that often and removing the nose is one of those jobs that brings you closer to your bike. :)

Dale, the easiest way is to remove the nose, you will get full access to it.
1-Roll back the mirror rubbers, undo the bolts holding them on.
2-Un bolt the upper infill panels, do not forget the 1 in front of the ignition switch. There are also a couple of push pins do not forget them.
3-Undo the 3 bolts on either side fairing.
4-The nose should now be held on by the pins behind the dash. Stand at the front of the bike with the wheel between your knees, hold onto the nose and pull towards you, do not pull all the way away from the bike as there is wiring attatched.
5-The wiring loom has a plug, just un plug it and you are good to remove the nose completely.
6-Place the nose headlight side down on a towel or something else that wont scratch it.
7-You will be able to see the back of the headlight clearly. Unplug the wires from the respective globes, remove rubber boot. There is a wire holding clip, squeeze it together to remove it. The globe is now free to remove.
8-Put new globe in.
To put it back together do everything in reverse.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for all ya help fellas

I just removed the 5 plastic push clips (and the 1 rusted capscrew with nyloc nut just to make it tricky) and removed the splash plate .. I had half of the princes hwy stashed on top of the splash plate (rocks, gravel, insects ..). Then poked and prodded until something came out .. luckily it was the globe.

All good now .. except the plastic pushclips are now all shagged. Can I get these anywhere else rather than my local rip off suzuki dealer ??

Cas .. thanks mate for the nose removing info .. I've printed this bit out for future reference

Thanks guys .. and a big thanks to BK

I permanently removed my splash plate for this exact reason.....nothing worse than riding along and hearing all the debris rattling around (...was starting to drive [ride?] me crazy)

Try Ebay, Dale...

Dale, go to Metropolitan spares at Silverwater, they have 1000's of clips and screws. Tell them you are from the Busa club, they take care of us pretty well.
