2. If the terminals are starting to corrode and
are coated with a white substance, wash with
warm water and wipe clean.
3. If the terminals are heavily corroded, clean
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.

Charging
If you use electrical accessories that drain the
battery or you do not ride frequently, we
recommend that you charge the battery every
30 days using a charger designed specifically for
your Honda, which can be purchased from your
dealer. Read the information that came with
your battery charger and follow the instructions
on the battery. Avoid using an automobile-type
battery charger, as these can overheat a
motorcycle battery and cause permanent
damage.
Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
position before charging the battery.
NOTICE
Improper charging can damage the battery. If you can’t
charge the battery or it appears unable to hold a charge,
contact your dealer.
