- Recommended charge time = 5 - 8 hours.
- The product (charge current) X (charge duration) must be
within the range:. 0.5 – 0.8 Cn
Note
In case that a different mode of charging is used to those
established here, never exceed the maximum allowed currents
nor the maximum charge duration of 24 hours.
CAUTION
Not using the standard manner of charging may seriously shorten
the battery life.
Never exceed the standard charge.
CAUTION
Inverting the polarity of the battery terminals may cause battery
charge problems and cause damage to the battery system.
The red terminal is positive (+) and the black terminal is negative (-).
COOLING SYSTEM
Radiator hose
Check the radiator hoses for cracks or deterioration, and connections
for leaks.
Radiator
Check the radiator fins for obstruction by insects or mud. Clean off
any obstructions with a stream of low-pressure water.
CAUTION
Using a high-pressure water source could damage the radiator fins
and render them ineffective.
Do not obstruct or deviate the radiator air intake by installing non-
approved accessories. Interfering with the radiator could cause
overheating and result in engine damage.
Coolant
This absorbs excessive heat from the engine and transfers it to the
air at the radiator. If the coolant level becomes low, the engine
overheats and may suffer severe damage. Check the coolant level
each day before riding the motorcycle. Replenish coolant if the level
is low.
WARNING
To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap or try to change the
coolant when the engine is still hot. Wait for it to cool down.
Anti-freeze liquid information
To protect the cooling system aluminium parts (engine and radiator)
from rust and corrosion, the use of corrosion and rust inhibitor
chemicals in the coolant is essential. If coolant containing corrosion
and rust inhibitor chemicals is not used, over a period of time, the
radiator will rust.
This will block the cooling hoses.
