BATTERY
The MF battery used in this motorcycle does not require main-
tenance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled water
replenishment).
During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced. How-
ever, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced. Therefore, be sure there are no fire or spark sources
(e.g., short circuit) nearby when charging the battery.
Be sure to recharge the battery in a well-ventilated and open
area.
Note that the charging system for the MF battery is different
from that of a conventional battery. Do not replace the MF
battery with a conventional battery.

When disconnecting terminals from the battery for disassem-
bly or servicing, be sure to disconnect the
@

wire, first.
When connecting the battery lead wires, be sure to connect
the

If the terminal is corroded, remove the battery, pour warm
water over it and clean it with a wire brush.
After connecting the battery, apply a light coat of grease to the
battery terminals.
Install the cover over the
