Warning:
A bulb failure can mean that
you will have problems in see-
ing and being seen.
You should therefore always
carry spare bulbs on the
motorcycle.

Note:
Do not touch the glass of new
bulbs with your fingers.
Use a clean, dry cloth to hold
the bulbs when inserting them.
Dirt deposits, in particular oil
and grease, interfere with heat
radiation from the bulb. This
leads to overheating and short-
ens the bulb's operating life.
