BATTERY INSPECTION ELECTRICAL BATTERY INSPECTION NOTE: Since the MF battery is of a sealed-type construction, it is impossible to measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte in order to check the state of charge in the bat- tery. Therefore, to check the state of charge in the battery, voltage must be measured at the battery terminals.
Page 98
BATTERY INSPECTION WARNING Battery electrolyte is dangerous; it contains sulfuric acid and therefore is poisonous and highly caustic. Always follow these preventive measures: Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it can cause severe burns or permanent eye injury. Wear protective eye gear when handling or working near batteries.
Page 99
BATTERY INSPECTION 4.Check: Battery condition ********************************* Battery condition checking steps: Connect a digital volt meter to the battery terminals. Tester (+) lead → Battery (+) terminal. Tester (–) lead → Battery (–) terminal. NOTE: The state of a discharged MF battery can be checked by measuring the open-circuit volt- age (the voltage measured with the positive terminal being disconnected).
Page 100
BATTERY INSPECTION Use special care so that charging clips are in full contact with the terminal and that they are not shorted. (A corroded clip of the charger may cause the battery to gen- erate heat at the contact area. A weak clip spring may cause sparks.) Before removing the clips from the bat- tery terminals, be sure to turn off the...

CHAS REAR SHOCK ABSORBER AND SWINGARM Features Water seepage is no longer a problem since the polylube is solid. If water seeps into the bearing, it will emulsify and will not flow out. Lubrication can continuously be supplied to the contact points when heat is gener- ated by the friction caused by the centrifu- gal forces, since the lubricant is solid and always remains inside the bearing.
