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. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low light conditions until the headlight is
replaced. 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 counterclockwise 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 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.
