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

motorcycle electronics.

Do not use the onboard socket

to jump-start the engine of the

motorcycle.

Touching live parts of the

ignition system with the

engine running can cause electric

shock.

Do not touch parts of the igni-

tion system when the engine is

running.

A short-circuit can result

if the crocodile clips of

the jump leads are accidental-

ly 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 motorcycle

electronics.

The battery of the donor vehicle

must have a voltage of 12 V.

When jump-starting the engine,

do not disconnect the battery

from the onboard electrical sys-

tem.

Removing battery compartment

cover ( 130)

Run engine of donor vehicle

during jump-starting.

Begin by connecting one end

of red jump lead to positive ter-

minal of discharged battery and

other end to positive terminal

of donor battery.

Then connect one end of black

jumper lead to negative termi-

nal of donor battery, and other

end to negative terminal of dis-

charged battery.

Start the engine of the vehi-

cle with the discharged battery

in the usual way; if the engine

does not start, wait a few min-

utes before repeating the at-

tempt in order to protect the

starter motor and the donor

battery.

Allow both engines to idle for a

few minutes before disconnect-

ing jump leads.

Disconnect jump lead from

negative terminals first, then

disconnect second lead from

positive terminals.
