Specinc Gravity
Check the specific gravity of all three ce lls of the
battery wit h a hy drometer,
if
it measures be low 1.200,
t he batt ery should be charged.
A fully charged battery should indicate a specific
gravity of 1.280 at electro lyte temp erature of 20 ° C
f68° Fl. The specific gravity w ill vary somewhat with
t he temperoture at the rate of 0.0007 specific gravity
variatio n for each 1 ° C (1.8° FI change in temperature.
A rise in t emp erature wi ll cause a decr ease in specific
g ravity and visa ve rsa . (Fig. 6- 44)
(Caution)

Do not add any sulfuric acid to the distilled water
when r epl enishing.

When the drop in electrolyt e level is excessive,
check the discharge rate of the battery.

Excersize co re not to pinch t he batte ry cable
when making the battery installation.

A lso, make sure that the vent tu be i s not pi nched

When the temperatu re drops, the capacity of the
batt ery will lowers and cause hard sta rting. In
such a case, sto re the motorcycle in a worm place.
