ing the battery on the following
pages
Do not turn the battery upside

If the battery is not discon-
nected, the onboard elec-
tronics (clock etc.) will drain the
z
battery. This can cause the bat-
tery to run flat. If this happens,
warranty claims will not be ac-
cepted.
During periods when the motor-
cycle is not being used, of more
than four weeks, disconnect the
battery from the motorcycle or
connect a trickle charger to the
battery.
Charging connected
battery
Charging the connected
battery directly at the bat-
tery terminals can damage the
motorcycle electronics.
To charge the battery via the
battery terminals, disconnect the
battery first.
If you switch on the igni-
tion and the multifunction
display and indicator lights fail to
light up, the battery is complete-
ly flat. Attempting to charge a
completely flat battery via the on-
board socket can cause damage
to the motorcycle's electronics.
Always charge a completely
drained battery directly at the
terminals of the disconnected
battery.
Charge connected battery via
onboard socket (OE).
Comply with the operating in-
structions of the charger.
Charging disconnected
battery
Charge battery using a suitable
charger.
Comply with operating instruc-
tions of charger.
Once battery is fully charged,
disconnect charger's terminal
clips from battery terminals.
In the case of longer peri-
ods when the motorcycle is
not being used, the battery must
be recharged regularly. See the
instructions for caring for your
battery. Always fully recharge
the battery before returning it to
use.
