Jump start
The wires leading to the
power socket do not
have a load-capacity rating
adequate for jump-starting
the engine. Excessively high
current can lead to a cable
fire or damage to the vehicle
electronics.
Do not use the on-board
socket to jump-start the
engine of the motorcycle.
Touching live parts of
the ignition system with
the engine running can cause
electric shock.
Do not touch parts of the igni-
tion system when the engine
is running.
A short-circuit can result
if the crocodile clips of
the jump leads are accident-
ally brought into contact with
the motorcycle.
Use only jump leads fitted with fully insulated crocodile
clips at both ends.
Jump-starting with a
donor-battery voltage
higher than 12 V can damage
the vehicle electronics.
Make sure that the battery
of the donor vehicle has a
voltage rating of 12 V.
If it is not standing firmly,
the motorcycle could
topple in the course of the
operations described below.
Always make sure that the
motorcycle is stable and
firmly supported.
When jump-starting the en-
gine, do not disconnect the
battery from the on-board
electrical system.
