pears in the display if a bulb
is defective. If the brake or
rear light fails, the symbol is
accompanied by the general
warning light, which lights up
yellow. If the rear light fails
the second filament of the
brake light shines at reduced
brightness to double as a rear
light. Even though you havethis substitute rear light, the
indicators in the display tell
you that a bulb defect has oc-
curred.
A defective bulb places
your safety at risk be-
cause it is easier for other
users to oversee you and
your motorcycle.
Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; always
carry a complete set of spare
bulbs if possible.
The bulb is pressurised
and can cause injury if
damaged.
Wear protective goggles
and gloves when changing
bulbs.
The types of bulb fitted
to your motorcycle are
listed in the section entitled
"Technical data". Do not touch the glass
of new bulbs with your
fingers. Use a clean, dry cloth
to hold the bulbs when hand-
ling them. Dirt deposits, in
particular oil and grease, in-
terfere with heat radiation
from the bulb. This leads to
overheating and shortens the
bulb's operating life.
