Lamps

General instructions

The failure of a bulb is signaled

in the display by the lamp de-

fect symbol. The same bulbs are

used for the brake light and the

tail light. The luminosity is con-

trolled accordingly.

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 pressurized and

can cause injury if dam-

aged.

Wear eye and hand protection

when replacing bulbs.

An overview of the bulb

types installed in your mo-

torcycle is provided in the chap-

ter "Technical Data".

Do not touch the glass of

new bulbs with your fin-

gers. For installation, use a clean,

dry cloth. Dirt deposits, in par-

ticular oil and grease, interfere

with heat radiation from the bulb.

Overheating and therefore short

service life of the bulbs are the

consequence.

Replacing low-beam and

high-beam bulb

If it is not standing firmly,

the motorcycle could topple

in the course of the operations

described below.

Make sure that the motorcycle is

steady on its stand.

With OE Xenon light:

Xenon light operates with

high voltage. There is a

danger to life and limb if work is

not carried out properly.
