CAUTION
.
Once the battery has been ini-
tially serviced, NEVER add di-
luted sulphuric acid.
.
Do not bend, obstruct or
change the routing of the air
vent tube from the battery.
Make certain that the vent
tube is firmly attached to the
battery vent fitting and that
the opposite end is always
open. Route the battery vent
tube and located the battery
properly.
.
When attaching the wiring
harness battery leads to the
battery terminals, observe the
correct polarity. The red lead
must go to the (+) positive
terminal and the black Cor
black with white tracer) lead
must go to the (-) negative
terminal. Reversing these con-
nections will damage the char-
gingsystemand the battery.
.
NOTE: Initial 1000 km and every
5000 km have your dealer check the
specific gravity of the battery's cells
with a battery hydrometer. This will
determine the exact condition of each
of the six cells.
AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner is located under the
fuel tank. If the element has become
clogged with dust, intake resistance
will increase with a resultant de-
crease in output and an increase in
fuel consumption. Check and clean
the air cleaner element periodically
according to the following proce-
dure.
CAUTION
If driving under dusty conditions,
the air cleaner element must be
cleaned or replaced more fre-
quently than it is with periodic
maintenance.
(1) Remove the seat and frame cov-
ers.
(2) Remove the BATTERY.
(3) Loosen the four bolts and re-
move the air cleaner element.
