MAINTENANCE

Lights

Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight

and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights

frequently and replace burned out lamps promptly. Always make sure

lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.
When servicing a halogen lamp, don't touch the lamp with bare fingers.

Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten

the life of the lamp.

Headlight Lamp Replacement

1. Open the hood.

CAUTION! Hot components

can cause burns to skin. Allow

lamps to cool before servicing.

2. Unplug the headlamp

from the wiring harness.

Be sure to pull on the

connector, not on the

wiring.

3. Turn the lamp counter-

clockwise to remove it.

4. Install the new lamp.

Tip: Make sure the tab on the lamp locates properly in the housing.

5. Reinstall the harness assembly into the headlight assembly.

Brake Lights

When the brake pedal is depressed, the console brake light comes on.

Check the brake light before each ride.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Depress the brake pedal. The brake light should come on after about

10 mm (0.4 in.) of pedal travel. If the light doesn't come on, check

the bulb.
