Notes on changing bulbs

Your motorcycle is equipped
with Digital Motor Electronic
(MOTRONIC) engine manage-
ment and a high-power ignition
system.
d
Warning:
Work on the electrical system
only when the circuit has
been interrupted (switch off
ignition and lights). For
greater safety, disconnect
and insulate the negative
battery lead. When the engine
is running or the ignition is
switched on, do not touch
electrically live components,
terminals or wiring.
– Risk of fatal accident!
e
Attention:
Your vehicle has a high-beam/
low-beam bulb, a brake-light
bulb/rear-light bulb, a parking-
light bulb, a bulb for the
number-plate light, and four
bulbs for the turn indicators.
If any of these bulbs fail, you
may have problems in seeing
and being seen.
You should therefore always
carry spare bulbs on the motor-
cycle.

Note:
Avoid touching the glass of new
bulbs with the 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.
