Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; always carry a
complete set of spare bulbs if
possible.
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.
