in the display by the defect-
ive lamp symbol. The bulbs for

the application.A defective bulb places
your safety at risk because
it is easier for other users to
oversee the 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 dam-
aged.

ation from the bulb. This leads
to overheating and shortens the
bulb's operating life.
