CAUTION:
@
• Loosen the battery sealing caps.
• Make sure the battery breather hose and
battery vent are free of obstructions.
• To ensure maximum performance, always
charge a new battery before using it.
• Do not use a high-rate battery charger.
They force a high-amperage current into
the battery quickly and can cause battery
overheating and battery plate damage.
• If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
• When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the motorcycle. (If charg-
ing has to be done with the battery
mounted on the motorcycle, disconnect
the negative lead from the battery termi-
nal.)
