Changing fuses
• Place the motorcycle on its
main stand [Dakar: side stand]
– Make sure the ground is
level and firm.
• Remove the seat
Before changing a fuse, switch
off the ignition.
Never attempt to repair a blown
fuse – risk of fire
For this reason, always carry a
number of spare fuses in the
toolkit (
b
17).
Use only fuses of the specified
rating and type.
• Squeeze clips

together and
remove the cover of the fuse
box
• Use puller
2
(
b
17) to remove
the blown fuse from its socket
• Insert a new fuse of the cor-
rect rating
• Close the fuse box lid
• Close and lock the seat
It is advisable to have the elec-
trical system checked by a spe-
cialized workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW motorcycle
retailer, if fuses blow frequently.
