A poorly maintained battery will corrode
and discharge quickly. The electrolyte
level, battery lead connections and
breather hose routing should be
checked before each ride and at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
WARNING
- Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains sulfuric
acid, which causes severe
burns. Avoid any contact with
skin, eyes or clothing and always
shield your eyes when
working near batteries. In case
of contact, administer the following
FIRST AID.
- EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
- INTERNAL: Drink large quantities
of water or milk and immediately
call a physician.
- EYES: Flush with water for 15
minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
- Batteries produce explosive hydrogen
gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and provide
sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed
space.
- Take care not to spill electrolyte
on the drive chain, as this may
weaken it, shorten chain life and
possibly result in an accident.
- KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTERIES
OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
To check the electrolyte level
- Place the vehicle on a level surface
and hold it in an upright position.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the electrolyte
level.
- Check the electrolyte level in the
battery.
TIP
The electrolyte should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

-
Maximum level mark
-
Minimum level mark
- 3. If the electrolyte is at or below the
minimum level mark, add distilled
water to raise it to the maximum
level mark. NOTICE: Use only
distilled water, as tap water contains
minerals that are harmful
to the battery.
- Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.
To store the battery
- If the motorcycle will not be used
for more than one month, remove
the battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTICE: When removing the
battery, be sure the key is
turned to "OFF", then disconnect
the negative lead before
disconnecting the positive lead.
- If the battery will be stored for more
than two months, check the specific
gravity of the electrolyte at least
once a month and fully charge the
battery whenever necessary.
- Fully charge the battery before installation.
- After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly connected
to the battery terminals and
that the breather hose is properly
routed, in good condition, and not
obstructed. NOTICE: If the
breather hose is positioned in
such a way that the frame is exposed
to electrolyte or gas expelled from the battery, the
frame could suffer structural
and external damages.
The front and rear wheel bearings must
be checked at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. If there is play in the wheel
hub or if the wheel does not turn ...
