Headlight strength ZX9C
I'm contemplating upping the wattage on my headlight globe, anyone know what stock is and how high I can go?

Re: Headlight strength ZX9C
Having too high of a wattage and you could end up melting the plastic covers on high beam,
A very good worthwhile read here >>>> http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/tech.html
I think it has relevance in Australia, anyway, make up your own mind.
It might pay to install relays as well, one for each light is best IMO.

That's basically my main area of concern, on the C model I only have 1 headlight but it's IMO inadequate, but then I think most motorcycle headlights are ordinary to be honest...Jonno wrote:Having too high of a wattage and you could end up melting the plastic covers on high beam,

Derr??? Why don't you just pull it out and look at it? It's a 2 minute job even a simpleton could complete!
