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.
A short-circuit can result
if the crocodile clips of
the jump leads are accidentally
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.
Removing center fairing panel
( 109).
When jump-starting the engine,
do not disconnect the battery
from the onboard electrical sys-
tem.
First connect positive terminal
of drained battery to positive
terminal of charging battery
with red jumper cable (positive
terminal on this vehicle: Posi-
tion 2).
Connect black jumper cable
to negative terminal of charg-
ing battery and then to nega-
tive terminal of drained battery
(negative terminal on this vehi-
cle: Position 1).
As an alternative to the
negative battery terminal,
the spring strut bolt can also be
used.
Run engine of donor vehicle
during jump-starting.
Start engine of motorcycle with
discharged battery in usual
way; if engine refuses to start,
wait a few minutes before re-
peating attempt to protect
starter and supporting battery.
Allow both engines to run for
several minutes before discon-
necting jumper cables.
Disconnect jump lead from
negative terminals first, then
disconnect second lead from
positive terminals.
To start the engine, do not
use start sprays or similar
items.
