There either a pull out and replace type bulb or a LED none replacement type as on the 1250. Carnt remember .Hope for no LED'

I'm sure I've removed the cover off the speedo without removing the fairing, you need to unscrew the speedo cable and there is a philips screw next to where the cable screws on ( in the recess) you can get to it by turning the steering to the right spot and working up under the fairing, it can be a bit fiddly getting it back in. All the instruments have a screw holding the back cover. I have a couple of manuals in pdf, 40 and 50 MB I can try and get them to you, probably too big as an attachment.
