Repairing the Front Headlamp Cover of Old Brutale 1078 MV Agusta

Model: Mvagusta Brutale 1078
Part: Headlight

Video tutorial

An old headlamp has a glass lens, a double reflector (for main and dipped beam) plus a smaller one for the position lights. The main issue with this headlamp is that the glass has been poorly fixed with silicone to the plastic structure.

You can resolve this by applying insulating tape to the joint. Another problem is the mounting screws to the bracket, which have too much play and can move.

In this case, apply silicone to secure the screw holes. If you remove the rubber of the adapter, remember to centre it perfectly; otherwise, the headlamp will not close.

How to Replace the Headlight Bulb on the KTM Duke 200?

The headlight bulb on the KTM Duke 200 can be replaced by loosening the screws that secure the optical unit to its housing at the front of the motorcycle: once all these screws have been loosened, it will be possible to remove the optical unit from its housing and thus remove the protective cover found inside. At this point, you can pull out the bulb from inside the headlight, replacing it with a new spare part. After the replacement, you can insert the headlight back into its housing, securing it with the appropriate screws.
