Operation Manual

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 ( 38).
Remove the centre trim panel
( 93).
When jump-starting the engine,
do not disconnect the battery
from the on-board electrical
system.
Push back cover 1 of the bat-
tery's positive terminal.
Begin by connecting one end
of the red jump lead to posit-
ive terminal 2 of the discharged
battery and the other end to
the positive terminal of the
donor battery.
Then connect one end of the
black jump lead to negative ter-
minal 3 of the donor battery,
and the other end to the neg-
ative terminal of the discharged
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 jump leads first
from the negative terminal,
then from the positive terminal.
Do not use proprietary
start-assist sprays or other
products to start the engine.
Replace cover 1 of the positive
battery terminal.
Install the centre trim panel
( 94).
