INITIAL ASSEMBLY 3.2
BATTERY TESTING AND CHARGING
1WARNING1WARNING
Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which could cause severe
burns to eyes and skin. Wear a protective face shield,
rubberized gloves and protective clothing when working
with batteries. KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHIL-
DREN. (00063a)
1WARNING1WARNING
Never remove warning label attached to top of battery.
Failure to read and understand all precautions in warning
could result in death or serious injury. (00064a)
1WARNING1WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead components, chemicals known in the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (00019a)
NOTE
It will be necessary to remove the battery sidecover to gain
access to the battery.
1. Place test probes of voltmeter on battery terminals and
check the voltage of the battery to make sure it is at least
12.6 VDC.
2. If the open circuit (disconnected) voltage reading is 12.6
VDC or greater the battery is ready for use.
3. See Section 1. Mark the date on the battery warranty tag
by removing the applicable month and year. Month and
year punches may be removed with the point of a screw-
driver without removing battery.
4. If the open circuit (disconnected) voltage reading is
below 12.6 VDC, refer to Table 1-2, 12 amp-hour battery,
in Section 1 and charge battery at rate and time speci-
fied.
5. Recheck battery voltage by repeating step 1 above. If
voltage now is 12.6 VDC or greater, perform steps 2 and
3 above.
6. If the open circuit (disconnected) voltage reading is still
below 12.6 VDC, the battery must be replaced.
INSTALLING MAXI-FUSE
The 40 amp Maxi-Fuse provides battery power to the ignition
switch and ECM. The 40 amp Maxi-Fuse is not installed at
the factory. It is shipped attached to the motorcycle. See Ser-
vice Manual.
INSTALLING FUEL PUMP FUSE
For non-carbureted vehicles, install the 15-amp fuel pump
fuse that is located in the spare fuse slot in the fuse block per
procedure in the appropriate Service Manual.
IDLE SPEED: CARBURETED ONLY
NOTE
The idle speed on fuel injected models can only be set using
a diagnostic tool such as DIGITAL TECHNICIAN (Part No.
HD-44750).
See Figure 3-1. Set engine slow idle speed of 950 RPM with
engine running at normal operating temperature and with
enrichment control knob pushed in fully. Turn carburetor idle
speed adjusting screw (5) clockwise to increase speed, or
counterclockwise to decrease speed.
NOTE
The C.V. carburetor has an enrichment circuit that will cause
the engine to idle above the normal idle range (950-1050
RPM) with the engine at normal operating temperature and
the enrichment knob pulled out fully. The increase in idle
speed is intended to alert the rider that the engine is warmed
up to normal operating temperature and that the enrichment
knob should be pushed in all the way. Continuing to use the
enrichener when the engine is at full operating temperature
will cause fouled plugs.
Be sure the engine is warmed up to normal operating temper-
ature and the enrichment knob is pushed all the way in before
adjusting engine idle speed. Be aware that, because there
are variations in individual components, it is possible for a
properly warmed-up engine to idle above the normal idle
range (950-1050 RPM) with the enrichment knob pulled out
partially.
