New member here with a frustrating question - I can't figure out how to remove the headlight to change the bulb (going brighter) and to install some Rizoma LED turn signals!  Any help would be appreciated!

if you are asking how to remove the whole assembly
1. need to remove the bikini fairing or instrument cover
2. undo the wire harness to your display.
3. botom triple has 10mm nuts on the inside of forks pointing towards your engine.
4. pull out the botom of headlight assembly and drop down assembly.
5. undo wire attatchments for your blinkers ( label left and right save headache later)
thats the quick of it.

except 4... pull out the bottom and LIFT the light off the top triple rubber mounts.
5. there are 3 wires attached.. headlight, and turn signals and they are labeled in italian Sx left Dx right
