Battery - Honda CRF230F 2007 Owner's Manual

Battery

Your motorcycle has a maintenance-free type
battery. You do not have to check the battery
electrolyte level or add distilled water as you
would with a conventional-type battery.
Your battery is a maintenance-f ree type and
can be permanently damaged if the cap strip is

battery –– even when the ignition is OFF.
Limited operation also allows the battery to
discharge. If you have electrical accessories on
your motorcycle –– or do not ride frequently,
we recommend that you charge the battery
frequently (see Battery Charging,
