Jump starting
The wires leading to the
power socket do not have
a load-capacity rating adequate
for jump-starting the engine. Ex-
cessively high current can lead
to a cable fire or damage to the
vehicle electronics.
Do not use the on-board socket
to jump-start the engine of the
motorcycle.
A short-circuit can res-
ult if the crocodile clips
of the jump leads are accident-
ally brought into contact with the
motorcycle.
Use only jump leads fitted with
fully insulated crocodile clips at
both ends.
Jump-starting with a donor-
battery voltage higher than
12 V can damage the vehicle
electronics.
Make sure that the battery of the
donor vehicle has a voltage rating
of 12 V.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Remove the seat ( 39).
Remove cover 1 from the bat-
tery connection point.
Begin by connecting one end
of the red jump lead to the
motorcycle's battery connec-
tion point and the other end
to the positive terminal of the
donor vehicle's battery.
Connect one end of the black
jump lead to a suitable earthing
point on the motorcycle (e.g.
screw 2) and the other end to
a suitable earthing point on the
donor vehicle or the negative
terminal of the donor vehicle's
battery.
Run the engine of the donor
vehicle during jump-starting.
Start the engine of the vehicle
with the discharged battery
in the usual way; if the en-
gine does not start, wait a few
minutes before repeating the
attempt in order to protect the
starter motor and the donor
battery.
Allow both engines to idle for a
few minutes before disconnect-
ing the jump leads.
Disconnect the jump lead from
the negative terminal and the
