Battery - Removal
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,
causing injury to the operator or
damage to the motorcycle.
The riding modes allow the rider to
adjust the throttle response (MAP),
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and
Traction Control (TC) settings to suit
differing road conditions and rider
preference.
Before disconnecting the battery or
removing a fuse for any reason, note
and record the rider’s settings.
Once the fuse has been reinstalled or
the battery reconnected the rider’s
settings should be reset as noted.
