BulbsGeneral instructionsThe failure of a bulb is signalled
in the display by the defect-
ive lamp symbol. The bulbs for
brake light and rear light are the
same; the brightness of the light
is regulated in accordance with
the application.A defective bulb places
your safety at risk because
it is easier for other users to
oversee the 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 dam-
aged.
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 handling them.
Dirt deposits, in particular oil and
grease, interfere with heat radi-
ation from the bulb. This leads
to overheating and shortens the
bulb's operating life.

high-beam headlight bulb

the motorcycle could topple
