The charge level in the battery must
be maintained to maximise battery life.
Failure to maintain the battery charge
level could cause serious internal
damage to the battery.
Under normal conditions, the motorcycle

motorcycle is unused, the battery will
gradually discharge due to a normal
process called self discharge; the clock,
Engine Control Module (ECM) memory,
high ambient temperatures, or the
addition of electrical security systems
or other electrical accessories will all
increase this rate of battery discharge.
Disconnecting the battery from the
motorcycle during storage will reduce
the rate of discharge.
