• If you are not riding twice a month, then you should
charge the battery every few weeks. A “smart” battery
charger will charge the battery but will not work as a
maintenance charge. If using a charger of this type
disconnect when the battery is fully charged. A Shorai® BMS
Charger with Store Mode may be used as a maintenance
charger. Read and follow the directions that come with the
charger.
• If the battery is removed from a bike after sitting for
2 months or more, attach a trickle charger to the battery to
top it off and then store it as you normally would.
A Shorai®
BMS Charger with Store Mode is highly recommended for this.
The battery terminals can be accessed under the seat. Clean
connections and check tightness annually. Battery terminals
should be tightened to 22-26 in/lbs (2.5-2.9 Nm). If it is
necessary to remove the battery from your motorcycle, see
the video service manual for detailed instructions.
NOTE
Use only the battery specified for this model. If installing a
new battery, check the polarity marked on the terminals
before installation.
JUMP-STARTING EBR MOTORCYCLES
EBR does not recommend jump-starting a motorcycle. Jump
starting the battery could cause damage to the cells and lead
to an internal short. If a battery voltage is too low to start
the vehicle it is important to use the Shorai BMS01 balancing
charger to recharge and diagnosis the condition of the battery
before use.
HEADLAMP
The low beam and position lamps are lit whenever the ignition
key is turned on. All bulbs are lit when the high beam switch
is activated or when passing lamp switch is pressed.
The high beam, low beam and position lights are all LEDs and
are not replaceable separately.
The automatic-on headlamp feature provides increased
visibility of the rider to other motorists.

WARNING
Be sure headlamp is on at all times. Poor visibility to other
motorists can result in death or serious injury.
