Default 500R guys read plz.

ok so i got the front crowl and other parts in painting and figure now would be a good time to replace that head light bulb with something more brighter cause stock is prettty dull. Can't seem to figure out how that thing comes out! its it a tiwst then pull or full unscrew or just a pull? I don't want to break it.

Also the front wheel is held with the 2 small hex bolts then with a giant hex shaft?? i don't have a key that big how am I supposed to remove the front wheel? would crappy tire carry a tool to remove that?

I don't want the shop to do it cause they would prolly charge me those *******s..

Any how thx for the help.

Oh and is installing the full hindle exhaust worth doing as far as power gains/sound?

Or not worth spending the 1100CDN that I would have to.

On the headlight you gotta remove the metal bar thingie to get the rubber bulb out. Its pretty easy once you do it a couple of times.

2 small hex bolts (locking nuts) and the axle one. I found a hex socket for like $3 bucks from autozone.

Full hindle exhaust? Sound would probably be worth it, but its all up to you and your budget.

I bought a huge allen key for the front wheel at Sears. If you can find a hex socket that will fit like Freakinout did, you're much better off.
