Maintaining the battery charge
Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1),
under the rider seat, to which you can connect a
special battery charger (2) (Battery charge
maintenance kit part no. 69928471A (Europe), part
no. 69928471AW (Japan), 69928471AX (Australia),
69928471AY (UK), 69928471AZ (USA), available from
our sales network.
Remove the connector (1) from the clamp (A) and
connect it to the battery charger (2).
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.
