Electrical / Re: Vara LED replacement light...
Last post by Quickbrownfox - 26/10/25 - 16:37:33Oh no. Not the answer I was hoping for but appreciate it nonetheless. Im UK. The lights on the vara aren't great. Wonder if there is a more traditional upgrade rather than led. I did see a post from a user who said they had done the swap out to much success but I wonder what product they used and their regional laws

Thanks again

Electrical / Re: Vara LED replacement light...
Last post by brinkcx - 26/10/25 - 12:25:47These LEDs do not put the actual light source in the same place as the filament(s) in the standard lamp, the shape is also different.
Result is a bad pattern on (and above) the road. Which is why there are only a few very specific cases that are legal where I live (EU) and none for the Varadero(s).
There are some (usually expensive) LED replacements which might work but it would not be legal in most places.

Electrical / Vara LED replacement lights he...
Last post by Quickbrownfox - 25/10/25 - 19:22:13Hello
Looking for some help. Bought some leds to replace my original 2008 125 xl vara lights. First time out at night the first 3 cars flashed me so I went home.
The lights can't be adjusted. They only fit one way. The bulbs emit light at 9 and 3 o'clock angle . The light isnt concentrated and is like a light scatter gun. Full beam could blind a plane.
The leds are ba20d.
All help appreciated. Presume ive bought too cheap and are suffering the consequences? Anyone had some luck or any product advice please

Last post by finnishvara - 16/10/25 - 09:03:37Allright, i inspected it closer and found that the bolt tightening the throttlebody to the front cylinder had fallen off. So air leak was the problem. Also added some motul valve & injector cleaner. Now it runs like new.

125 Open Forum / Choppy idle
Last post by finnishvara - 12/10/25 - 17:44:57Hello, first time poster here
My 2011 efi 125 varadero has started having a choppy idle.
The idle stays at 1700rpm 75% of the time, but sometimes it just drops to ~1000rpm as if it were running on only one cylinder. Also, when driving and i pull the clutch in and give it revs so it doesnt drop to idle it sometimes bangs.
High rpm is fine.
It has been driven 62 000 km, it leaks oil a bit and has a Dominator slip-on, if that's relevant. Oil, plugs and the air filter have been changed ~3000km ago.
What could cause this?
