Bulbs
General instructions
The failure of a bulb is sig-
nalled in the display by the
defective lamp symbol. The
bulbs for brake light and rear
light are the same; the bright-
ness of the light is regulated
in accordance with the applic-
ation.
A defective bulb places
your safety at risk be-
cause it is easier for other
users to oversee you and
your 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
damaged.
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 hand-
ling them. Dirt deposits, in
particular oil and grease, in-
terfere with heat radiation
from the bulb. This leads to
overheating and shortens the
bulb's operating life.
Replacing low-beam and
high-beam headlight
bulb
If it is not standing firmly,
the motorcycle could

operations described below.
Always make sure that the
motorcycle is stable and

rect working procedures can
result in fatalities.
Have all work on the xenon

work involved in replacing
bulbs, performed by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
by an authorised BMW Motor-
rad dealer.
For the time being, ride with
the high-beam headlight

In order not to dazzle on-
coming traffic, set the head-
light beam throw adjuster to
the position for riding with
maximum payload.
Have the bulb replaced as
soon as possible by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motor-
rad dealer.
