Battery Disposal
Should the battery ever require
replacement, the original battery must
be handed to a recycling agent who
will make sure that the dangerous
substances from which the battery
is manufactured do not pollute the
environment.
Battery Maintenance
Warning
Battery acid is corrosive and
poisonous and will cause damage to
unprotected skin.
Never swallow battery acid or allow it
to come into contact with the skin.
To prevent injury, always wear eye
and skin protection when handling the
battery.
The battery is a sealed type and does
not require any maintenance other
than checking the voltage and routine
recharging when required, such as
during storage.
Clean the battery using a clean,
dry cloth. Make sure that the cable
connections are clean.
It is not possible to adjust the battery
acid level in the battery; the sealing
strip must not be removed.
Battery Discharge
Caution
The charge level in the battery must
be maintained to maximize battery life.
Failure to maintain the battery charge
level could cause serious internal
damage to the battery.
Under normal conditions, the motorcycle
charging system will keep the
battery fully charged. However, if the
motorcycle is unused, the battery will
gradually discharge due to a normal
process called self discharge; the clock,
Engine Control Module (ECM) memory,
high ambient temperatures, or the
addition of electrical security systems
or other electrical accessories will all
increase this rate of battery discharge.
Disconnecting the battery from the
motorcycle during storage will reduce
the rate of discharge.
Battery Discharge During Storage
and Infrequent Use of the
Motorcycle
During storage or infrequent use of the
motorcycle, inspect the battery voltage
weekly using a multimeter. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions supplied
with the meter.
Should the battery voltage fall below
12.7 Volts, the battery should be
charged.
