Battery
Your motorcycle has a maintenance-free type
battery. You do not have to check the battery
electrolyte level or add distilled water. Clean the
battery terminals if they become dirty or
corroded.
Do not remove the battery cap seals. There is no
need to remove the cap when charging.
NOTICE
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be
permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.
This symbol on the battery means that
this product must not be treated as
household waste.
NOTICE
An improperly disposed of battery can be harmful to the
environment and human health.
Always confirm local regulations for battery disposal.
The battery gives off explosive
hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery
to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a face
shield, or have a skilled mechanic do
the battery servicing.
