General instructions
A bulb failure is signaled to
you in the multifunction dis-
play by a warning indicator.
A defective bulb places
your safety at risk be-
cause it is easier for other
users to oversee you and
your motorcycle.
Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; always car-
ry a complete set of spare
bulbs if possible.
The bulb is pressurized
and can cause injury if
damaged.
Wear eye and hand protection
when replacing bulbs.
An overview of the bulb
types installed in your
motorcycle is provided in the
chapter "Technical Data".
Do not touch the glass
of new bulbs with your
fingers. For installation, use
a clean, dry cloth. Dirt de-
posits, in particular oil and
grease, interfere with heat ra-
diation from the bulb. Over-
heating and therefore short
service life of the bulbs are
the consequence.
Replacing high-
beam/low-beam bulb
If it is not standing firm-
ly, the motorcycle could
topple in the course of the
operations described below.
Make sure that the motorcy-
cle is steady on its stand.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and park the
motorcycle.
Switch off ignition.
Remove cover 2 (low beam)
or cover 3 (high beam) by
pulling on lever 1.
