General instructions
A bulb failure is signaled to
you in the multifunction dis-
play by a warning indicator.
If the brake or rear light fails,
the general warning light al-
so lights up in yellow. If the
rear light fails, the brake light
is used as a substitute in that
the luminosity of the second
glow filament is reduced to
rear light level. Failure of the
rear light is nevertheless indi-
cated in the display.
A defective bulb places
your safety at risk be-
cause it is easier for other
users to oversee you and
your motorcycle.
Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; always car-
ry a complete set of spare
bulbs if possible.
The bulb is pressurized
and can cause injury if
damaged.
Wear eye and hand protection
when replacing bulbs.
An overview of the bulb
types installed in your
motorcycle is provided in the
chapter "Technical Data".
Do not touch the glass
of new bulbs with your
fingers. For installation, use
a clean, dry cloth. Dirt de-
posits, in particular oil and
grease, interfere with heat ra-
diation from the bulb. Over-
heating and therefore short
service life of the bulbs are
the consequence.
