the front-wheel stand down

Bulbs

General instructions
A warning appears in the multi-
function display if a bulb is de-
fective. If the brake or rear light
fails, the symbol is accompan-
ied 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 pressurised and
can cause injury if dam-
aged.
Wear protective goggles and
gloves when changing bulbs.
The types of bulb fitted to
your motorcycle are listed
in the section entitled "Technical
data".
Do not touch the glass of
new bulbs with your fingers.
Use a clean, dry cloth to hold
the bulbs when handling them.
Dirt deposits, in particular oil and
grease, interfere with heat radi-
ation from the bulb. This leads
to overheating and shortens the
bulb's operating life.
Replacing low-beam/high-
beam headlight bulb
The plug and the spring
clip might face in a direc-
tion other than that shown here.

the motorcycle could topple
