Charging and maintenance of the battery
during winter storage
Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1) to
which you can connect a special battery charger (2)
(Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601A - various
countries; Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601AX
- for Japan, China and Australia only) available from
our sales network.
Note
The electric system of this model is designed so
as to ensure there is a very low power drain when the
motorcycle is OFF. Nevertheless, the battery features
a certain self-discharge rate that is normal and
depends on ambient conditions as well as on "non-
use" time.
Important
If battery is not kept at a minimum charge level
by a suitable battery charge maintainer, sulphation
may occur and this is an irreversible phenomenon
causing decreasing battery performance.
