If the battery is not discon-
nected, the onboard elec-
tronics (clock etc.) will drain the
battery. This can cause the bat-
tery to run flat. If this happens,
z
warranty claims will not be ac-

During driving breaks of more
than 4 weeks, a trickle-charger
should be connected to the
battery.

tery terminals can damage the
motorcycle electronics.

drained battery directly at the
