Battery
The battery in this vehicle is a maintenance-free battery� Therefore, it is unnecessary to inspect the
amount of battery electrolyte or add distilled water� To ensure optimum service life of the battery, keep the
battery charged properly to ensure the battery has reserve capacity available at the starter motor� When
the motorcycle is used frequently, battery is charged by the motorcycle charging system� If the motorcycle
is only used occasionally, or used for a short time during each ride, the battery can remain discharged�
Batteries can also self-discharge from infrequent use� The rate of discharge varies with battery type and
ambient temperature� When environment temperature rises for example, the rate of discharge could
increase by a factor of 1 for every 15°C temperature rise.
In cold weather, if battery is not charged properly it can easily cause freeze the electrolyte, which may lead
to battery cracking and warp electrode plates out of shape� Proper, full charging of the battery improves
freeze-proof capability�
NOTE: Due to motorcycle design and component placement, battery removal and installation should only
be performed by CFMOTO technicians in a properly equipped workshop�
