Charging the battery
Before charging the battery, it is recommended to remove it
from the motorcycle.
Remove the left-hand fairing (page 72), unscrew the screw
(1) and remove the bracket (2). Always disconnect the black
negative terminal (-) first, then the red positive terminal (+).
Warning
The battery produces explosive gases: keep it away
from heat sources and flames.

Connect the battery charger leads to the battery terminals:
red to the positive terminal (

), black to the negative terminal
Important
Connect the battery to the charger before switching it
on; failure to do so can result in sparking at the battery
terminals, which could ignite the gases inside the cells.
Always connect the red positive terminal (+) first.
Reinstall the battery on its mount (3) and secure the bracket

screws to improve conductive capacity and connect the
terminals.
