Battery
(Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 39.)
It is not necessary to check the battery electrolyte
level or add distilled water as the battery is a
maintenance-free (sealed) type. If your battery seems
weak and/or is leaking electrolyte (causing hard
starting or other electrical troubles), contact your
Honda dealer.
NOTICE
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be
permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.

maintenance.
