Battery

A poorly maintained battery will corrode
and discharge quickly. The electrolyte
level, battery lead connections and
breather hose routing should be
checked before each ride and at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the electro-
lyte level.
2. Remove panel A. (See page 6-7.)
3. Check the electrolyte level in the
battery.
TIP
The electrolyte should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
