To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the battery as
soon as possible if it seems to have dis-
charged. Keep in mind that the battery tends
to discharge more quickly if the vehicle is
equipped with optional electrical accessories.
NOTICE
To charge a VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead
Acid) battery, a special (constant-voltage)
battery charger is required. Using a con-
ventional battery charger will damage the
battery.
To store the battery
If the vehicle will not be used for more than
●
one month, remove the battery, fully charge
it, and then place it in a cool, dry place.
● If the battery will be stored for more than
two months, check it at least once a month
and fully charge it if necessary.
