Information on changing bulbs
Your motorcycle is equipped
with Digital Motor Electronic
(MOTRONIC) engine manage-
ment and a high-output ignition
system.
d Warning:
Only carry out work on the
electrical system when the
circuit has been interrupted
(switch off ignition). For
greater safety, disconnect
and insulate the negative bat-
tery lead.
When the engine is running or
the ignition is switched on, do
not touch any electrically live
components, terminals or
wiring.
–Risk of fatal accident!
e Important:
Your vehicle has a high-beam/
low-beam bulb, a brake-light
bulb/rear-light bulb, a parking-
light bulb, a bulb for the
number-plate light, and four
bulbs for the turn indicators.
If any of these bulbs fail, you
may have problems in seeing
and being seen.
You should therefore always
carry spare bulbs on the motor-
cycle.
L Note:
Do not touch the glass of new
bulbs with the fingers.
Use a clean, dry cloth to hold
the bulbs when inserting them.
Dirt deposits, in particular oil
and grease, interfere with heat
radiation from the bulb. This
leads to overheating and short-
ens the bulb’s operating life.
