Battery

(Refer to "Maintenance Precautions" on page 60.)
It is not necessary to check the battery electrolyte
level or add distilled water as the battery is a
maintenance-free (sealed) type. If the battery seems
weak and/or is leaking electrolyte (causing hard
starting or other electrical failures), contact your
authorized Honda dealer.
ATTENTION
• • • • • Removal of battery caps may damage them
resulting in leaks and eventual battery damage.
• • • • • When the motorcycle is to be stored for an
extended period of time, remove the battery from
the motorcycle and charge it fully. Then store it in
a cool, dry place.
• • • • • If the battery is to be left in the motorcycle,
disconnect the negative cable from the battery
terminal.
• • • • • The battery is charged during motorcycle use
while the charging system is operating under
normal use conditions. For a longer service life,
we recommend that the motorcycle be ridden at
least once a week.
WARNING
!
• • • • • The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte).
Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns.
Wear protective clothing and a face shield.
• • • • • If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
• • • • • If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water
for least 15 minutes and call a physician
immediately.

quantities of water or milk and follow with milk of
magnesia or vegetable oil. Call a physician
immediately.

explosive gases; keep sparks, flames, and
cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when
charging or using the battery in an enclosed space.
