Jump starting

The wires leading to the
power socket do not
have a load-capacity rating
adequate for jump-starting the
engine. Excessively high cur-
rent can lead to a cable fire or
damage to the vehicle elec-
tronics.
Do not use the onboard sock-
et to jump-start the engine.c
Do not use proprietary
start-assist sprays or
other products to start the
engine.c
A short-circuit can result
if the crocodile clips of
the jump leads are accidental-
ly brought into contact with the
motorcycle.
Use only jump leads fitted with
fully insulated crocodile clips
at both ends.c
Jump-starting with a do-
nor-battery voltage high-
er than 12 V can damage the
vehicle electronics.
Make sure that the battery of
the donor vehicle has a volt-
age rating of 12 V.c
• When jump-starting the
engine, do not disconnect
the battery from the onboard
electrical system.
