8. Battery, Charging System
Connect charger’s positive wire to battery’s positive
pole.
Connect charger’s negative wire to battery’s negative
pole.
Charging current/time: Standard: 0.9A/5~10hours
Fast charge: 4.0A/60mins
Note:
¾ Keep the electrolyte temperature under 45 ℃ .
Reduce current to adjust the temperature if it is too
high.
¾ Fast charge will reduce battery’s life or cause
damage to battery. Do not use fast charge unless
in emergency case.
Inspection of Charging System
Inspect charging status
¾ Remove battery (→15-4) and install a fully charged
battery.
¾ Keep ignition switch at “OFF” position.
¾ Connect voltmeter between battery’s terminals
after engine is started and warmed up.
Note:
¾ Avoid short circuit when measuring
¾ Overvoltage may be generated when removing
or joining the battery terminals with switch ON
and will damage the multimeter and the
electrical parts. Operation should be done with
ignition switch OFF.
¾ Use a fully charged battery for inspection.
Start engine and turn on high beam.
Increase engine speed slowly. Check voltage between
battery terminals.
Voltage between terminals at engine speed of
(5000r/min): 13.5-15V
Standard:
Battery’s monomer voltage<charging voltage<15V
(5000rpm)
Electric Leakage Test
Remove seat (→2-3)
Remove battery fixing plate (→2-3)
Open battery cover
Keep ignition switch at the “OFF” position, and remove
negative wire from battery.
