Maintenance6110
A defective bulb places
your safety at risk be-
cause it is easier for other road
users to oversee you and your
motorcycle.
Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; always carry
a complete set of spare bulbs
if possible. c
The types of bulb used
are listed on (
b
139). c
Do not touch the glass of
new bulbs with your fin-
gers. Use a clean, dry cloth to
hold the bulbs when handling
them. Dirt deposits, in particu-
lar oil and grease, interfere
with heat radiation from the
bulb. This leads to overheating
and shortens the bulb’s oper-
ating life. c The types of threaded
fastener used are listed
on (
b
128). c
