Charging the battery
Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it
from the motorcycle.
Remove the rider seat, unscrew the screw (1) and
remove the bracket (2). Loosen the screws (3), to
remove the positive cable (4) and (ABS) (5) from the
positive terminal and the negative cable (6) from the
negative terminal always starting from the negative
one (-) and remove the battery by sliding it outwards.
Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases; keep it
away from any source of ignition such as sparks,
flames and cigarettes. Charge the battery in a well-
ventilated area.
Charge the battery in a ventilated room.
Connect the battery charger leads to the battery
terminals: the red one to the positive terminal (+), the
black one to the negative terminal (-).

Important
Make sure the charger is off when you connect
the battery to it, or you might get sparks at the battery
terminals that could ignite the gases inside the cells.
Always connect the red positive (+) terminal first.
