in the display by the defective
lamp symbol. If the brake or rear
light fails, the symbol is accom-
panied by the 'General' warning
light, which lights up yellow. If
the rear light fails the second fil-
ament of the brake light shines
at reduced brightness to double
as a rear light. Even though you
have this substitute rear light, theindicators in the display tell you
that a bulb defect has occurred.
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.
