Bulbs - BMW R 1200 GS Adventure Rider's Manual

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".
