    CF650TR HID headlight upgrade

    Accessing the CF650TR/650TK/CF650-2 headlights might seem problematic, however it need not be so. To adjust headlight level is pretty straight forward, there are adjustment knobs at the rear of each headlight, accessed from behind, either; reaching down by the instrument panel between the fork down-tubes/steering head and the tupperware, or alternatively from underneath between where the radiator is located and the front mud-guard - reaching up. Both methods require one to have some dexterity.

    Trying to access and work with the headlight bulbs or LED which sit below the headlights is not as easy using either method.

    For better access, start by removing the screen. A 4mm Allen key is needed to remove the four coach bolts that secure the screen to the top side of the dash.

    Once the screen is removed, push in the centre of four push-in grommet type fasteners, then carefully use a flat head screw driver or similar to lever the outer lip of the fastener away from the tupperware.

    Once there is enough purchase on the fastener wiggle and pull out from its position. Remove the two PK/Philips head screws.

    With the fasteners all removed, carefully place the flat edge of a flat headed screw driver under the top edge of the tupperware and the lip of the dash as shown in the photo. Work the flat edge along from one side to the other.

    Once the two edges are separated there is one remaining plastic retaining clip to work out at the bottom of the dash plastic and the top of the headlight tupperware.

    Once the top tupperware comes away one is left with a large access area to the rear and underside of the dash as well as the rear of the head light cluster etc.

    Easy access...

    Still requires a little finesse and dexterity... to work with the headlight though.

    Headlight dust cover in place, with two headlight wiring cables.

    Headlight plug in situ.

    After sliding off the dust cover from the rear of the headlight, it requires a light 1/8 of a turn to remove the bulb from the headlight.

    Surprised to see the headlight bulbs were OSRAM brand made in Germany.
    H8 35w.

    Despite this, brighter (higher lumen) bulb replacement to come.

    Thanks Doc

    It is allways nice to find out about how to remove tupperwear from a good post , its make ones own job alot more easy. From your detailed pictures if one was going to fit HID then the HID ballast could be hang under the 2 screen mounting rails which would be a good location nicely fixs and out of the way . good post Doc

    Hi all

    Just to make sure I don't do something not needed, when the headlights are on, both should be lit? I only ask, at the moment only one is lit, however both are lit when full beam is switched on. I have a feeling I'm goning to have to go through the process listed above, unless of coyrse my headlights are behaving as they should!!!

    Cheers

    Tony

    Tony, Prince666 is correct... however you could have found the answer simply enough yourself by reading the thread linked in my first post of this thread... which if you'd clicked the link to the CF650 HID upgrade thread... there's even a photo of the 650TR with one headlight illuminated, and an explanation underneath it.
    It's worth noting that many questions you and others might have are likely already answered... if one takes a minute or ten to read various threads and posts.

    Just like on many bike forums... the answers that most seek are already documented. It just takes time and patience to read through verbose to find the gems one seeks.
