BATTERY
(Refer to the maintenance precautions on
page 57).
It is not necessary to check battery
electrolyte level or add distilled water
because the maintenance-free battery is
sealed. If any loss of electrolyte is
experienced or if your battery seems to be
weak, causing slow starting or other
electrical troubles, see your authorized
Honda dealer.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to remove the sealing
caps from the cells - you may damage
the battery.
When the motorcycle is to be stored for
an extended period of time, remove the
battery from the motorcycle and charge
it fully. Then store it in a cool, dry
place. If the battery is to be left in the
motorcycle, disconnect the negative
cable from the battery terminal.
⚠
