Battery Maintenance
It is the owner's responsibility to keep the battery fully
charged. Failure to do so can lead to battery failure and
leave you stranded.
If you are riding your vehicle infrequently, inspect the
battery voltage weekly using a voltmeter. If it drops
below 12.8 volts, the battery should be charged using
an appropriate charger (check with your Bimota
dealer). If you will not be using the motorcycle for
longer than two weeks, the battery should be charged
using an appropriate recharger. Do not use an
automotive type quick charger that may over-charge
the battery and damage it.
NOTE
○
Leaving the battery connected causes the
electrical components (clock etc.) To make
the battery discharged, resulting the
overdischarge of the battery. In this case,
the repair or replacement of the battery is
not included in the warranty. If you do not
drive for four weeks or more, disconnect
the battery from the vehicle.
Battery Charging
Charge the battery following the instructions of your battery charger.
The charger will keep the battery fully charged until you are ready to
reinstall the battery in the motorcycle (see Battery Installation).

Be sure that the cable connections are clean. Put a light coat of
grease on the terminals to prevent corrosion.
Cover the positive (+) terminal with the red cap ed install seat.
NOTICE
Installing the negative (–) cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the
battery or the positive (+) cable to
the negative (–) terminal of the
battery can seriously damage the
