The high and low beam bulbs are identi-
cal. If the low beam is burned out and no
spare bulb is available, it is possible to
substitute the high beam bulb for the low
beam bulb.
This should only be done to make it possi-
ble to ride a short distance at night to a
shop where a new bulb can be obtained or
home.
To change the bulbs:
PARKING LIGHT BULB
CAUTION
While removing a bulb socket, do not
pull on the wires.
Working from the rear side of the front
part of the fairing, grasp the bulb socket
(4), pull it and remove it from its seat.
Remove the parking light bulb (5) and re-
place it with an identical bulb.
HIGH BEAM BULB
NOTE
Remove the bulb sockets one by
one in such a way as to avoid replacing
them incorrectly during reassembly.
If the bulb sockets must all be removed at
the same time, take great care to reas-
semble them in the proper position.
Working from the rear right side of the
front part of the fairing, pull back the rub-
ber boot (6) with your fingers.
Rotate the bulb socket (7) counterclock-
wise and remove it.
Push the bulb (8) toward the back of the
socket lightly, and rotate it counterclock-
wise.
Remove the bulb from the seat.
NOTE
Be sure to maintain the same ori-
entation as the old bulb when you install
the new bulb. Do not force the bulb, it will
go easily if it is properly oriented.
