WARNING
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilized
and adequately supported.
Do not support the motorcycle on
any ancillary component, the exhaust
system or any other non structural
parts of the motorcycle frame.
A correctly supported motorcycle will
help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall
resulting in motorcycle damage,
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Make sure that the battery terminals
do not touch the motorcycle frame.
This may cause a short circuit or spark
which would ignite battery gases.
Failure to follow the advice above
could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
If the battery has been disconnected
or the fuses removed for any reason
advise the rider to confirm the original
mode settings have been correctly set.
Failure to reset the motorcycle to the
rider’s preferred rider mode settings
and subsequently being ridden may
cause loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
▼ Place the battery in the battery
sleeve and then in the battery case.
