Generator power is no longer
sufficient to supply all consumers
and charge the battery. In order
to ensure that the engine can
be started and the motorcycle
ridden, the onboard electronics
switch off the electricity supply
to the onboard sockets and the
auxiliary headlights. In extreme
cases the seat heating and the
grip heating might also be shut
down.
Possible cause:
Too many consumers switched
on. On-board system voltage
tends to drop particularly at low
engine rpm and when the engine
is idling.
When riding at low engine revs,
switch off all electrical equip-
ment that is not necessary
for road safety (e.g. heated
body warmer or supplementary
headlight).
