ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 6-3
BATTERY
• The MF battery used in this motorcycle does not require main-
tenance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled water replen-
ishing).
• During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced. How-
ever, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced. Therefore, be sure that there are no fire or spark
sources nearby (e.g., short-circuit) when charging the bat-
tery.
• Be sure to recharge the battery in a well-ventilated and open
area.
• Note that the charging system for the MF battery is different
from that of a conventional battery. Do not replace the MF bat-
tery with a conventional battery.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY
• When disconnecting terminals from the battery for disassembly
or servicing, be sure to disconnect the battery (-) lead wire,
first.
• When connecting the battery lead wires, be sure to connect
the battery (+) lead wire, first.
• If the terminal is corroded, remove the battery, pour warm wa-
ter over it and clean it using a wire brush.
• After connecting the battery, apply a light coat of grease to the
battery terminals.
• Reinstall the cover over the battery (+) terminal.
WIRING PROCEDURE
• Properly route the wire harness according to “WIRE HARNESS,
CABLE AND HOSE ROUTING”. (!7-12)
