I intend keeping the bike for a number of years, so I guess genuine ones are the way to go. I did read however, that the lights for the Yamaha R6 are the same and cheaper than the MT10. You just have to take them off the R6 bracket and put them onto the MT10 bracket. I've heard that as well. My cracks still very small and as such I'm not going to worry about replacing them at all. If/when the time comes I'll probably ditch them altogether and get something aftermarket that's cheaper and has better output. |

Today I had my bikes headlight inspected at a Yamaha dealer in Swindon to try to get some satisfaction from Yamaha on the internal cracks on the headlight problem. I only bought the 2021 bike 2 months ago and took out an extended Yamaha warranty of 12 months on it. The warranty however, does not cover lights. Grrrr!! As Yamaha must know about their rubbish headlights, I hoped for something from them to go towards the big cost to renew them. You can't just get one headlight you see, so you have to buy both on their bracket. Was I lucky, was I heck as like. The dealer themselves did however, not charge me for the inspection. £120 saved. They also found the head race was faulty, but at least the £300 cost to fix that does come under the warranty. So it's booked in for the end of July to have everything done and I have to suffer around a thousand pounds just to replace the headlights. The dealer in Swindon did their best, but Yamaha head office would not bend. If the lights ever go again in the future, I might even risk fitting those Chinese ones.

So my final post on the subject. I have had a good word with the dealer I originally bought the bike from in Folkstone. They are now going to take the bike in for the day and fit new Yamaha headlights. They are also going to only charge me half the cost, at least that's something. The overall ride to them and back home again is 268 miles. Hope it is sunny on that day.
