BATTERY
(Refer to the maintenance precautions on page 61.)
If the motorcycle is operated with insufficient battery elec-
trolyte, sulfation and battery plate damage will occur. If rapid
loss of electrolyte is experienced, or if your battery seems to be
weak, causing slow starting or other electrical problems, see
your authorized Honda dealer.
Battery Electrolyte:
The battery is under the seat. Remove the rear right side cover
to check the battery electrolyte.
The electrolyte level must be maintained between the UPPER
and LOWER LEVEL marks on the side of the battery.
If the electrolyte level is low, disconnect the negative (-) ter-
minal lead from the battery first, then disconnect the positive
terminal lead. Disconnect the battery breather tube. Remove
the bolt and battery holder. Pull out the battery. Remove the
battery filler caps. Carefully add distilled water to UPPER
LEVEL mark, using a small syringe or plastic funnel.
