Starting power of lithium-ion batteries at low temperatures
402555-01
Lithium-ion batteries are far lighter than lead batteries, have a
low self-discharge rate, and have more starting power at tem-
peratures over 15 °C (60 °F). At low temperatures, however, the
starting power of lithium-ion batteries drops to below that of lead
batteries.
Multiple starting attempts may be needed. Press the start but-
ton for 5 seconds, and wait 30 seconds between attempts. The
pauses are necessary so that the heat created can distribute
through the lithium-ion battery and the 12-V battery is not dam-
aged.
If the charged lithium-ion battery is unable to actuate the starter
motor when temperatures are below 15 °C (60 °F), the battery is
not faulty, but needs to be warmed up internally to increase its
starting power (current output).
The starting power increases as the battery warms up.

Preparing the vehicle for difficult operating conditions
Info
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can result
in significantly increased wear of components, such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension
components. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before the next scheduled
service.
–
Clean the air filter and air filter box.
Info
Check the air filter approx. every 30 minutes.
–
Check the electrical connector for humidity and corrosion and to ensure it is firmly seated.
» If humidity, corrosion, or damage is found:
–
Clean and dry the connector, or change it if necessary.
Difficult operating conditions are:
–
Rides on dry sand. (
–
Rides on wet sand. (
–
Rides on wet and muddy circuits. (
–
Rides at high temperatures or slow riding. (
–
Riding at low temperatures and in snow. (
