Battery Electrolyte
The battery (1) is behind the right side cover. Remove
the right side cover (page 31).
Check the electrolyte level with the motorcycle in an
upright position on level ground. The electrolyte level
must be maintained between the UPPER (2) and
LOWER (3) level marks on the battery case.
If the electrolyte level is low, remove the filler caps.
Carefully add distilled water to upper level mark, using
a small syringe or plastic funnel.

NOTICE
Battery fluid is highly corrosive and can damage metal or
painted surfaces. Use care when adding distilled water.
Filling the battery above the UPPER level line may
cause the electrolyte to overflow, resulting in corrosion
to engine or frame parts. Immediately wash off any
spilled electrolyte.
When checking battery fluid level, or adding distilled
water, make sure the breather tube is connected to
the battery breather outlet. The battery breather tube
must be routed as shown on the label. Do not bend or
twist the breather tube.
NOTICE
A bent or kinked breather tube may pressurize the
battery and damage its case.
