3. Malfunctions For the malfunctions described here, we assume that only the end components come into question for the cause of the malfunction. If the fault still occurs after the end component has been replaced, then it is necessary to pay a visit to your dealer. 3.1 Lights 3.1.1. Indicators 3.1.2 If a lamp is faulty, then the blinker frequency is twice as fast. Front indicator bulb: should only be changed by the dealer.

Note: 3.3 Too low air pressure or worn tyres may affect handling and range! Brakes Squealing noises while braking indicate worn brake pads or that there is a foreign object (e.g. a stone) in the brakes. In this instance contact your dealer.

4. Vehicle maintenance All parts of a motorbike are equally at risk of corrosion because of aggressive pollutants in the air and from the effects of salt on the road.
