Charging
If you use electrical accessories that drain the
battery or you do not ride frequently, we
recommend that you charge the battery every
30 days using a charger recommended by your
lithium-ion (li-ion) battery manufacturer.
Contact your dealer before charging the battery.
Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
position before charging the battery.
NOTICE
Only use a charger recommended by your lithium-ion (li-
ion) battery manufacturer. Using a battery charger that is
not recommended can cause permanent damage to your
battery.

Improper charging can damage the battery. If you can’t
charge the battery or it appears unable to hold a charge,
contact your dealer.
