REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT
BULBS
Read page 106 (BULBS) carefully.
The front fairing is shown removed from
the vehicle for better clarity. In fact, the
high and low beam bulbs can be replaced
with the front fairing in place.
The headlight accommodates the following
bulbs:
√ Two high beam bulbs (1).
√ Two low beam bulbs (2).
√ Two parking light bulbs (3).
High beam and low beam use the same
bulbs.
If one of the bulbs (2) is damaged and no
spare bulb is available, you may replace it
with one of the bulbs (3).
