Replenishing the battery fluid
A poorly maintained battery will corrode and
discharge quickly. The battery fluid should be
checked at least once a month.
1. The level should be between the upper
and lower level marks. Use only distilled
water if refilling is necessary.
1. “UPPER LEVEL” 2. “LOWER LEVEL”
EUU33800
CAUTION:
Normal tap water contains minerals which
are harmful to a battery; therefore, refill
only with distilled water.
EUU65901
WARNING
Take care not to spill battery fluid on the
chain. Battery fluid may weaken the chain
causing shorter chain life and possibly re-
sult in an accident.
2. When the motorcycle will not be used for
a month or longer, remove the battery
and store it in a cool, dark place. Com-
pletely recharge the battery before reus-
ing.
3. If the battery will be stored for a longer
period than the above, check the specific
gravity of the fluid at least once a month
and recharge the battery when it is too
low.
4. Always make sure the connections are
correct when putting the battery back in
the motorcycle. Make sure the breather
pipe is properly connected and is not
damaged or obstructed.
