a load-capacity rating adequate
for jump-starting the engine. Ex-
cessively 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.
A short-circuit can res-

of the jump leads are accident-

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.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Remove the battery-compart-
ment cover ( 114).
When jump-starting the engine,
do not disconnect the battery
from the on-board electrical
system.
Run the engine of the donor
vehicle during jump-starting.
Begin by connecting one end
of the red jump lead to the
positive terminal of the dis-
charged battery and the other
