Additional Notes

The 168 bulb is the sole license plate bulb type listed across all model years of the Yamaha FZS1000 FZ1 covered in these specifications, spanning 2006-2015.
The 168 bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in the United States and Canada, classifying it as a regionally standardized automotive component.
It belongs to the T10 form factor, a miniature wedge-base bulb type commonly used in low-intensity automotive lighting positions such as license plate illumination.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical system voltage found in motorcycles of this type.
At 4.9 watts, the 168 bulb draws a relatively low amount of power, which is typical for auxiliary lighting functions that do not require high output.
The T10 wedge base design means the bulb is inserted and retained by friction rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism, a common trait in compact lighting sockets.
The 168 designation is an ANSI bulb code, which defines specific electrical and physical parameters, allowing cross-referencing with other bulbs sharing the same code regardless of manufacturer.
Because the 168 specification remains unchanged across the entire 2006-2015 range in these records, substitutions or replacements sourced for any year within that span would share the same base type and electrical rating.
