Hold the cover in position and

install short screws 2 and long

screw 1.

Install the front seat ( 73).

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.

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.

Make sure the ground is level

and firm and place the motor-

cycle on its stand.

Remove the front seat ( 73).

When jump-starting the engine,

do not disconnect the battery

from the on-board electrical

system.

Remove protective cap 1 from

the battery's positive terminal.

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 (positive on

this vehicle: position 2).

Then connect one end of the

black jump lead to the negat-

ive terminal of the donor bat-

tery and the other end to the

negative terminal of the dis-

charged battery (negative on

this vehicle: position 3).
