SEMI-CONDUCTOR EQUIPPED PARTS

• Do not drop any part that contains a semi-conductor (e.g.,
ECM, regulator/rectifier).
• When inspecting the part, follow the inspection instructions
carefully. Neglecting proper procedures may cause this part
to be damaged.

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.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY

sem-bly or servicing, be sure to disconnect the - battery lead
wire, first.
• When connecting the battery lead wires, be sure to connect
the + battery lead wire, first.
• 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 the + battery terminal.
