ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 8-33
RECHARGING OPERATION
• Measure the battery voltage using the multi circuit tester. If the
voltage reading is less than the 12.0V (DC), recharge the bat-
tery with a battery charger.
!
* When recharging the battery, remove the battery from
the motorcycle.
* Do not remove the caps on the battery top while re-
charging.
Recharging time: 1.2A for 5 to 10 hours or 5A for one hour
!
Be careful not to permit the charging current to exceed
5A at any time.
• After recharging, wait at least 30 minutes and then measure
the battery voltage using the multi circuit tester. If the battery
voltage is less than 12.5V, recharge the battery again. If battery
voltage is still less than 12.5V after recharging, replace the
battery with a new one. When a battery is left unused for a long
time, its voltage needs to be regularly measured. When the
motorcycle is not used for more than one month (especially
during the winter season), measure the battery voltage at least
once a month.
