SERVICING
Visually inspect the surface of the battery container. If any signs
of cracking or electrolyte leakage from the sides of the battery
have occurred, replace the battery with a new one. If the battery
terminals are found to be coated with rust or an acidic white
powdery substance, then this can be cleaned away with sandpa-
per.
RECHARGING OPERATION
• Using the multi circuit tester, check the battery voltage. If the
voltage reading is less than the 12.0 V (DC), recharge the bat-
tery with a battery charger.
"
Recharging time: 0.7 A for 5 to 10 hours or 3 A for one hour
"
• After recharging, wait for more than 30 minutes and check the
battery voltage with a multi circuit tester.
• If the battery voltage is less than the 12.5 V, recharge the bat-
tery again.
• If battery voltage is still less than 12.5 V, after recharging,
replace the battery with a new one.
• When a battery is left unused for a long time, its voltage
needs to be regularly measured. When the motorcycle is not
used for more than one month (especially during the winter
season), measure the battery voltage at least once a month.
* When recharging the battery, remove the battery
from the motorcycle.
* Do not remove the caps on the battery top while
recharging.
Be careful not to permit the charging current to
exceed 3 A at any time.
