Charging and maintenance of the battery
during winter storage
Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1,
fig. 151) to which you can connect a special battery
charger (2) (Battery maintainer kit part no.
69924601A - various countries; Battery maintainer kit
part no.

available from our sales network.
Note
The electric system 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.
