Bulbs

General instructions

A warning appears in the multi-

function display if a bulb is de-

fective. If the brake or rear light

fails, the symbol is accompan-

ied by the 'General' warning light,

which lights up yellow. If the rear

light fails the second filament of

the brake light shines at reduced

brightness to double as a rear

light. Even though you have this

substitute rear light, the indicat-

ors in the display tell you that a

bulb defect has occurred.

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 pressurised and

can cause injury if dam-

aged.

Wear protective goggles and

gloves when changing bulbs.

The types of bulb fitted to

your motorcycle are listed

in the section entitled "Technical

data".

Do not touch the glass of

new bulbs with your fingers.

Use a clean, dry cloth to hold

the bulbs when handling them.

Dirt deposits, in particular oil and

grease, interfere with heat radi-

ation from the bulb. This leads

to overheating and shortens the

bulb's operating life.

Replacing high-beam

headlight bulb

Always make sure that the

supported.

Make sure the ground is level

and firm and place the motor-

cycle on its stand.

Switch off the ignition.

Turn the handlebars to the

left to facilitate access.

Turn cover 1 counter-clock-

wise and remove it.

beam headlight bulb ( 127)
