Battery Care
Inspecting and topping up the electrolyte level should be performed frequently as
indicated in the Maintenance Schedule and Pre riding Inspection. The battery (1) is
behind the right side cover. Remove the side cover. Check the electrolyte level.
The electrolyte level must be maintained between the upper (2) and lower (3) level marks
on the side of the battery. If the level is low, remove the battery filler caps (4).
Carefully add distilled water to the upper level mark, using a small syringe or plastic
funnel.
CAUTION: When checking battery electrolyte level or adding distilled water, make sure the breather tube (5) is
connected to the battery breather outlet.
Fuse Replacement
The fuse box (1) is located between the handlebars. Main fus e (3) is installed near the battery. When frequent failure of the
fus e occurs, it usually indicates a short circuit or an overload in the electrical system. Consult your Honda dealer.
WARNING: Never use a fuse with a different rating from that specified on the fuse box and never use a conductive
material to replace a fuse.
WARNING: Do not pry the clips open to get a fuse out: you could bend them and cause poor contact with the new fuse.
A loose fuse could cause damage to the electrical system and even start a fire.
To replace the main fuse, loosen the screws and remove the old fuse.
Install the new fuse and tighten the screws securely.
To replace fus es in the fuse box, remove the fuse box cover. Pull the old fuse out of the clips: or slide it length wise until one
end comes out, then lift it out with your fingers. Push a new fuse into the clips and install the fuse box cover.
