Jump starting

The wires leading to the

power socket do not have

a load-capacity rating adequate

for jump-starting the engine. Ex-

cessively high current can lead

to a cable fire or damage to the

vehicle electronics.

Do not use the on-board socket

to jump-start the engine of the

motorcycle.

Touching live parts of the

ignition system with the

engine running can cause electric

shock.

Do not touch parts of the igni-

tion system when the engine is

running.

A short-circuit can res-

ult if the crocodile clips

of the jump leads are accident-

ally brought into contact with the

motorcycle.

Use only jump leads fitted with

fully insulated crocodile clips at

both ends.

Jump-starting with a donor-

battery voltage higher than

12 V can damage the vehicle

electronics.

Make sure that the battery of the

donor vehicle has a voltage rating

of 12 V.

When jump-starting the engine,

do not disconnect the battery

from the on-board electrical

system.

Removing battery-compartment

cover ( 128).

Run the engine of the donor

vehicle during jump-starting.

Begin by connecting one end

of the red jump lead to the

positive terminal of the dis-

charged battery and the other

end to the positive terminal of

the donor battery.

Then connect one end of the

black jump lead to the negative

terminal of the donor battery,

and the other end to the neg-

ative terminal of the discharged

battery.

Start the engine of the vehicle

with the discharged battery

in the usual way; if the en-

gine does not start, wait a few

minutes before repeating the

attempt in order to protect the

starter motor and the donor

battery.

Allow both engines to idle for a

few minutes before disconnect-

ing the jump leads.

Disconnect the jump lead from

the negative terminals first,

then disconnect the second

lead from the positive termin-

als.
