BATTERY: GENERAL
Type
Your motorcycle uses a permanently sealed, mainte-
nance free, Lithium-Ion battery. All batteries are
shipped pre-charged and ready to be put into service. Do
not attempt to open the battery for any reason.
Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related ac-
cessories contain lead and lead compounds, and oth-
er chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Never remove warning label attached to top of bat-
tery. Failure to read and understand all precautions
contained in warning, could result in death or serious
injury.
Voltmeter Test
The voltmeter test provides a general
indicator of battery condition. Check the voltage of the
battery to verify that it is in a charged condition. If the
open circuit (disconnected) voltage reading is below 12.3
V, charge the battery and then re-check the voltage.
Cleaning and Inspection
Battery top must be clean and dry. Dirt and electrolyte on the
battery can cause battery to self-discharge.
1. Clean battery.
2. Clean cable connectors and battery terminals using a wire
brush or fine grit sandpaper to remove any oxidation.
3. Inspect and clean the battery screws, clamps and cables.
Check for breakage, loose connections and corrosion.
Do not burn or incinerate battery. Battery may
explode, and toxic fumes and materials are creat-
ed causing personal injury or death.
