Charging the battery
Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the
motorcycle.
Remove the left half fairing (see page 58). Always
disconnect the black negative terminal (-) first, and then
the red positive terminal (+).
Unscrew the two screws (1) securing the battery brackets
and remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Warning
The battery produces explosive gases: keep it away
from heat sources and flames.
Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
Connect the red battery charger lead to the positive (+)
terminal on the battery, and the black lead to the negative (-)
terminal.
Important
Always connect up the battery before switching
the battery charger on: failure to do so can result in
sparking at the battery terminals, which could ignite
the gases inside the cells.
Always connect the red positive terminal (+) first.
Reinstall the battery on its support and secure the brackets
with the screws (1). Connect the terminals. Use some
grease on the fastening screws to improve conductivity.
