Bulbs
General instructions
A warning appears in the mul-
tifunction display if a bulb is
defective. If the brake light
or rear light fails, the warn-
ing is accompanied by the
General warning light light-
ing up yellow. If the rear light
fails the second filament of
the brake light shines at re-
duced brightness to double
as a rear light. Even though
you have this substitute rear
light, the indicators in the dis-
play tell you that a bulb defect
has occurred.
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
