Jump starting

Do not attempt to jump-start
the motorcycle using the
on-board socket.
Risk of fire.
The wires leading to the power
socket do not have a load-ca-
pacity rating adequate for jump-
starting the engine.

If you switch on the ignition and
the indicator lights fail to light
up, the battery is completely
flat. In this case, do not attempt
to jump-start the motorcycle:
recharge the battery instead.
Risk of damaging the control
units.

Do not use proprietary start-
assist sprays or other products
to start the engine. If the motor-
cycle’s battery charge level is
low, you can start the engine of
your motorcycle with the aid of
another vehicle’s 12 V battery
and two jump leads. By the
same token, you can jump start
another motorcycle. Use only
jump leads fitted with fully insu-
lated crocodile clips at both
ends.
• When jump-starting the
engine, do not disconnect the
battery from the on-board
electrical system

Do not touch live compo-
nents of the ignition system
while the engine is running
