Lamps

General instructions
A warning appears in the multi-
function display if a bulb is defec-
tive. If the brake or rear light fails,
the symbol is accompanied by
the 'General' warning light, which
lights up yellow.
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 pressurized and
can cause injury if dam-
aged.
Wear eye and hand protection
when replacing bulbs.
An overview of the bulb
types installed in your mo-
torcycle is provided in the chap-
ter "Technical Data".
