Maintenance Fundamentals
3.
If the terminals are heavily corroded, clean
and polish the terminals with a wire brush
or sandpaper. Wear safety glasses.
4.
After cleaning, reinstall the battery.
The battery has a limited life span. Consult
your dealer about when you should replace
the battery. Always replace the battery with
another maintenance-free battery of the same
type.
NOTICE
Installing non-Honda electrical accessories can overload
the electrical system, discharging the battery and possibly
damaging the system.
Fuses
Fuses protect the electrical circuits on your
motorcycle. If something electrical on your
motorcycle stops working, check for and
replace any blown fuses.
