15 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 15.7 Changing the headlight bulb Note Impairments to reflectors and lamps Grease on the reflector reduces the emitted light. Grease on the bulb will evaporate due to the heat and be deposited on the reflector. Grease residue on the bulb reduces heat dissipation and increases the heat of the bulb, thus reducing its service life.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 15 – Check the headlight setting. The boundary between light and dark must be exactly on the lower mark for a motorcycle with rider. » If the boundary between light and dark does not meet specifications: – Adjust the headlight range. ( p.

16 COOLING SYSTEM 16.1 Cooling system Water pump in the engine ensures forced circulation of the coolant. The pressure resulting from the warming of the cooling system is regulated by a valve in radiator cap . This ensures that operat- ing the vehicle at the specified coolant temperature will not result in a risk of malfunctions.
COOLING SYSTEM 16 Coolant ( p. 158) – Mount the radiator cap. 16.3 Checking the coolant level Warning Danger of scalding During motorcycle operation, the coolant gets hot and is under pressure. – Do not open the radiator, the radiator hoses or other cooling system components if the engine or the cooling system are at operating temperature.
