SWITCH

• Never apply grease material to switch contact points to pre-
vent damage.

SEMI-CONDUCTOR EQUIPPED PART

• Be careful not to drop the part with a semi-conductor built in
such as a ECM.
• When inspecting these parts, follow the instructions carefully.
Failure to follow the proper procedure can cause damage to
these parts.

BATTERY

• The MF battery used in this motorcycle does not require main-
tenance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled water
replenishment).
• During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced. How-
ever, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced. Therefore, be sure there are no fire or spark sources
(e.g., short circuit) nearby when charging the battery.
• Be sure to recharge the battery in a well-ventilated and open
area.
• Note that the charging system for the MF battery is different
from that of a conventional battery. Do not replace the MF
battery with a conventional battery.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY

• When disconnecting terminals from the battery for disassem-
bly or servicing, be sure to disconnect the - battery lead
wire, first.
• When connecting the battery lead wires, be sure to connect
the + battery lead wire, first.
• If the terminal is corroded, remove the battery, pour warm
water over it and clean it with a wire brush.
• After connecting the battery, apply a light coat of grease to the
battery terminals.
• Install the cover over the + battery terminal.
