jetpilot5 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Gave the bike it's first bath today and happen to notice that my plate light has a lot of play in it. I assume this is normal but without another Niken nearby there's no way to check another one. Is your plate light like this? License Plate Light.MOV - Google Drive Hopefully that link works.

pilninggas Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) this is normal and something you see on loads of bikes. it think it's (a) because it's small prone to vibration, so allowing it to move prevents the bulb blowing and (b) it allows it to give a bit, if flying stones etc hit it.

jetpilot5 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thanks for the reply guys. I thought maybe it had to do with being attached to the swing arm. A rigid mounted light would take quite a pounding back there. I see the parts fiche calls what appears to be the nuts that hold the light on a "weight". Probably to further help dampen vibration. From now on I will refer to this as a feature.😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
