instrument panel bulbs
Morning all, as i'm changing the front fairing bracket on my 1999 bike, for the second time, i am replacing some bulbs from the instrument panel, which had gone, i notice they are 1.7w, not easy to get locally, is it ok to use 3.0w instead?

Chain Adjustment
I cleaned and adjusted the chain yesterday, went for a run today, checked when i got back and found the chain side adjuster had slackened off, i used a torque wrench to tighten the axle nut, so that was fine, there isn't a locking nut on the adjusters is there? they were equal after adjustment.
