Battery
Refer to
Safety Precautions
If you plan to store your Honda SXS, we recommend you remove the
battery and store it where it can be charged every 30 days to
maintain its service life.
If you do not remove the battery, we recommend disconnecting the
battery cables (negative cable first).
Check the terminals for corrosion (a white or yellowish powder). To
remove it, cover the terminals with a solution of baking soda and
water. It will bubble up and turn brown. When this stops, wash it off
with plain water. Dry off the battery with a cloth or paper towel.
You will get the best storage results from removing the battery and
slow charging it every 30 days (see
Battery Charging
, page 206).
Before you remove the battery, be sure to read all the information
that follows, as well as the information on the battery label.

maintenance.
