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 bulbs
The alignment of the con-
nector may differ from the
illustration depending on the bulb
to be replaced.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and park the motorcy-
cle.
Switch off the ignition.
Remove the covers 1 on the
high-beam bulbs and/or the
cover 2 on the low-beam bulbs
by turning counterclockwise.
Disconnect plug 3.
Remove spring strap 4 from
detents and fold up.
