This can cause the battery
to run flat. If this happens,
warranty claims will not be ac-
cepted.

of use for more than four
weeks, disconnect the battery
or connect a suitable trickle
charger to the battery.
Charging battery when
connected
Charging the connec-
ted battery directly at the
battery terminals can damage
the vehicle electronics.
Always disconnect the bat-
tery from the on—board cir-
cuits before recharging it with
a charger connected directly
to the battery posts.
If you switch on the ig-
nition and the multifunc-
tion display and telltale lights
fail to light up, the battery is
completely flat. Attempting to
charge a completely flat bat-
tery via the on-board socket
can cause damage to the mo-
torcycle's electronics.

the extent that it is completely
flat, it has to be disconnected
from the on—board circuits
and charged with the char-
ger connected directly to the
battery posts.
Charge via the power sock-
et (OE), with the battery
connected to the motor-
cycle's on—board electrical
system.

instructions of the charger.

structions for caring for your
