10.Inspection and maintenance before riding
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF BATTERY
The electrolyte will vaporize so it is necessary to
inspect and refill if necessary. Have your motorcycle
checked by SYM Authorized Dealer or Franchised
Dealer should any abnormality is found.
! Remove the right side cover, the electrolyte level
should be between the upper and lower limit.
! If the electrolyte level is lower than the lower limit,
remove the battery, then remove the cap from each
cell and refill the distilled water to the upper limit.
﹙Cleaning of battery terminals﹚
Remove the battery terminals and clean if there are dirt
and corrosion on them.
Battery removal procedures are as follows:
Turn ignition switch “OFF”, then remove negative cable
screw firstly and disconnect the negative cable. Then,
remove positive cable screw and positive cable.
CAUTION:
! Clean the battery posts with warm water if the
posts are eroded and have some white powders
on them.
! If there is an obvious erosion on the terminals,
disconnect the cables, then clean the erosion
off with a steel brush or a piece of sandpaper.
! Install battery cable after cleaning and apply a
thin coat of grease on the terminals.
! Install battery in reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
! In order to prevent electric leakage and self-discharge when the battery sits idle for long periods.
Remove battery from motorcycle, store it in a well- ventilated and dimly lighted place after the
battery has been fully charged. Disconnect battery’s negative cable if the battery is still kept on the
motorcycle.
! If the battery needs to be replaced, replace with a same type battery.
! The electrolyte level is incorrect if the motorcycle is not standee on level ground.
! Don’t over fill the distilled water other wise the over flay acid fluid will corrode parts.
! Keep away from sparks and flames when dealing with the battery.
! Don’t clog the breather tube.
! The breather tube clogged will break the battery because the inner pressure will be up.
! Keep your eyes and skin away from the electrolyte, if touched by the electrolyte, clean with water
immediately or see the doctor.
! Notice the polarity of the cables when removing and assembling.
