Standard Charging
1. Ensure that the key switch is in the OFF position.
2. Plug the supplied power cord (A) into the on-
board charger connector. Always keep the power
cord with the motorcycle.
The maximum charging temperature cutoff is a power
pack longevity feature. Charging at higher
temperatures can shorten the life of the power pack.
Note: Frequent top off charging is good for the power
pack’s life span, so do not hesitate to charge
frequently.
If you experience a power pack that will not take a
charge, you should ensure the internal temperature is
below 52°C (125°F). If the power pack was recently
run and it will not take a charge, the power pack
should cool and begin taking a charge in around 30
minutes or less.

3. Always connect the charger to a GROUNDED
outlet. When using an extension cord, avoid
excessive voltage drops by using a grounded,
3-wire, 12-AWG cord no longer than 7.6 m (25 ft).
The charger can be used on 120 V AC or
240 V AC current. The voltage does not change
the amount of time that the motorcycle takes to
charge.
