• The battery will self-discharge when the motorcycle is not in use. For this reason, charge the battery every two weeks
to prevent sulfation from forming.
• Filling a new battery with electrolyte will produce some voltage, but in order to achieve its maximum performance, always charge
the battery. Also, the battery life is lengthened when it is initial-charged.
• When checking the charging system, always follow the steps in the troubleshooting flow chart (page 15-3).
For battery charging, do not exceed the charging current and time specified on the battery. Use of excessive current or charging time
may damage the battery.
BATTERY TESTING
Refer to instructions in the Operation Manual for the recommended battery tester for details about battery testing.
The recommended battery tester puts a “load” on the battery so that the actual battery condition can be measured.
Recommended battery tester BM-210-AH or BM-210 BATTERY MATE or equivalent
