Your motorcycle is equipped
with a digital electronic engine
management system and a
high-power ignition system.
When the engine is running or
the ignition is switched on, do
not touch electrically live
components, terminals or
wiring.
– Risk of fatal accident
Work on the electrical system
only when the circuit has
been interrupted (ignition and
lights switched off). For great-
er safety, disconnect and in-
sulate the negative battery
lead.
If you intend to perform the
maintenance and general care
work described in the following
section yourself, you must pos-
sess the necessary knowledge
of technical matters and
mechanical skills.
Your motorcycle is built to high
technological standards. Special
tools and purpose-designed
diagnosis and testing equip-
ment, together with the appropri-
ate knowledge, are needed to
keep your motorcycle in opti-
mum working order.
