Electrical Precautions
The following guidelines are intended to ensure the safety of the operator whilst
preventing damage to the electrical and electronic components fitted to the motorcycle.
Where necessary, specific precautions are detailed in the relevant sections of this manual
which should be referred to prior to commencing repair operations.
Equipment - Prior to commencing any test procedure on the motorcycle ensure that the
relevant test equipment is working correctly and any harness or connectors are in good
condition, in particular mains leads and plugs.
The ignition system produces extremely high voltages. Do not touch any part of the
ignition system or any cables while the engine is running.
An electric shock caused by contact with the ignition system may lead to illness, injury
or death.
Wearers of surgically implanted heart pacemaker devices should not be in close
proximity to ignition circuits and/or diagnostic equipment.
The ignition system and any diagnostic equipment may interrupt the normal operation
of such devices causing illness or death.
The battery contains harmful materials. Always keep children away from the battery
whether or not it is fitted in the motorcycle.
Do not jump start the battery, touch the battery cables together or reverse the polarity
of the cables as any of these actions may cause a spark which would ignite battery
gases causing a risk of personal injury.
