Suzuki Motorcycle AN650 Burgman Turn Signal Bulb Size
Suzuki Motorcycle AN650 Burgman front and rear turn signal bulbs use 12496 and PY21W size specifications. The replacement chart covers 2003 to 2015 production years with corresponding bulb size data.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The two bulb types specified across the Suzuki Motorcycle AN650 Burgman turn signal positions are the 12496 and the PY21W. Both operate at 12 volts, making them electrically compatible with the motorcycle's standard electrical system.
The 12496 is a halogen bulb designated under Philips and Osram part numbering systems for specialty applications. It is not an ECE-standardized type, meaning it is sourced through those manufacturers' specific product lines rather than a universal regulatory classification.
The PY21W follows the ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) standard and is recognized globally. It is a single-filament amber bulb rated at 21 watts, fitted with a BAU15s offset bayonet base. The offset pin arrangement of the BAU15s base prevents incorrect installation of non-amber bulbs in amber-designated sockets.
Front turn signal positions on the AN650 Burgman use the 12496 for model years 2004-2005, 2007, and 2013-2015, while the PY21W is specified for 2003, 2006, and 2008. The two bulb types alternate across different years in the front position.
Rear turn signal positions show a similar alternating pattern. The PY21W is specified for 2003, 2005, 2008-2009, and 2015, while the 12496 applies to 2004, 2006-2007, and 2013-2014.
In several model years, the front and rear turn signal positions on the same motorcycle require different bulb types. For example, the 2015 AN650 Burgman uses a 12496 at the front and a PY21W at the rear, making position-specific verification necessary before replacement.
The PY21W's BAU15s bayonet base is not interchangeable with the more common BA15s or BAY15d bases. Substituting a bulb with a different base type would result in a physical fitment failure regardless of voltage or wattage compatibility.
Because the 12496 is a specialty part number rather than an ECE category designation, its physical base type and wattage are defined by the Philips and Osram specifications for that part number rather than by a regulatory standard, distinguishing it from the more universally defined PY21W.
