MINOR MAINTENANCE TIPS
Care during long duration storage:

In the event the motorcycle is not used for a
long duration, the battery must be disconnected
from the motorcycle and connected to a suitable
automatic battery charger.

If a battery gets discharged, it can lead to
sulphation of the internals and the terminals and
reduce the life of the battery.
 Keeping the battery fully charged will reduce
the chances of the battery from "freezing" during
cold weather and minimize the battery from an
internal damage
WARNING

Always disconnect the -ve terminal first and
then the +ve terminal, while removing the
cable connections
 Batteries contain lead, sulphuric acids and
other chemicals, which are known to cause
cancer and birth defects or reproductive
harm.

Battery electrolytes are highly acidic and
corrosive in nature. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, clothing etc. as it causes
excessive burning, irritations and other
harmful infections.


shield, rubberized gloves, and protective
clothing when working with batteries.
 Handle batteries with care and wash hands
well with soap, whenever batteries are
