engine running can cause electric
shock.
Do not touch parts of the igni-
tion system when the engine is
running.
A short-circuit can res-
ult if the crocodile clips
of the jump leads are accident-
ally brought into contact with the
motorcycle.
Use only jump leads fitted with
fully insulated crocodile clips at
both ends.
Jump-starting with a donor-
battery voltage higher than
12 V can damage the vehicle
electronics.
Make sure that the battery of the
donor vehicle has a voltage rating
of 12 V.
Remove the battery-compart-
ment cover (

When jump-starting the engine,
do not disconnect the battery
from the on-board electrical
system.
Run the engine of the donor
vehicle during jump-starting.
Begin by connecting one end
of the red jump lead to posit-
ive terminal 2 of the discharged
battery and the other end to
the positive terminal of the
donor battery.
Then connect one end of the
black jump lead to the negative
terminal of the donor battery
and the other end to negative
terminal 1 of the discharged
battery.
Start the engine of the vehicle
with the discharged battery
in the usual way; if the en-
gine does not start, wait a few
minutes before repeating the
attempt in order to protect the
starter motor and the donor
battery.
Allow both engines to idle for a
few minutes before disconnect-
ing the jump leads.
Disconnect the jump lead from
the negative terminals 1 first,
then disconnect the second
jump lead from the positive
terminals 2.
Do not use proprietary
start-assist sprays or oth-
er products to start the engine.
Install the battery-compartment
