All,
My M696 blew a blinker bulb yesterday....No big deal, right ? Well it seems the bulb I need (E1 in Amber) is non-existant at any major auto parts supplies (Poopboyz, Autozone, NAPA). Looks to me like Ducati REALLY wants you to pay $125/pr for their LED blinkers...
I cannot believe that I am going to have to call the dealer for a damn blinker bulb. Maybe I should order some blinker fluid while I am at it [drink]

AFAIK there is no E1 size bulb. An E1 marking means that the bulb has met the performance standards that Europe uses for external vehicle lighting.
Parts catalog says it's a:
RY10W

Yep - you are right - I found that out like 2s ago. The markings on the bulb are:
OSRAM 5009 LF SLOVAKIA 12VRY10W [E1] 2HZ T7a8
Ya, that's a lot of shit written on a tiny bulb...
yea i just had my rear blinker blow out on my bike, i just took it into the parts store and found one that looked like it would work. mine are just clear bulbs, but they are silvania 1003
I had the same problem until I figured out it is just a basic readily available bulb in clear. I bought 6 of them @ .70 cents each and rattle canned them with red stained glass (translucent) paint. Worked great and I have plenty of spares. And then to make the blinkers even more visable, I painted the clear lens, very nice!

I'll check at home; I think I still have the package they came in...
