To check the electrolyte level, proceed as
follows:
◆
Raise the saddle and the rear hood, see
p. 20 (UNLOCKING/LOCKING THE
SADDLE).
◆
Unscrew and remove the screw (1).
◆
Remove the battery cover (2).
◆
Make sure that the fluid level is included
between the two "MIN" and "MAX"
notches stamped on the battery side.
If necessary, top up by adding distilled wa-
ter. Never exceed the "MAX" notch, since
the level increases during the recharge.
◆
To recharge, disconnect the cables, ex-
tract the battery from its container and
remove the element plugs. Put the bat-
tery in a cool and dry place. A recharge
with an amperage equal to 1/10th of the
battery capacity is recommended.
◆
After the recharging operation, check the
electrolyte level again and if necessary
top up with distilled water.
◆
Tighten the element plugs.
◆
Put back the battery in its container.
Always connect the battery
breather pipe, to prevent the sul-
phuric acid vapours from cor-
roding the electric system, painted
parts, rubber elements or gaskets when
they exit the breather pipe itself.
◆
Put back the battery cover (2).
◆
Screw and tighten the screw (1).
◆
Close the rear hood and lock the saddle,
see p. 20 (UNLOCKING/LOCKING THE
SADDLE).

If the vehicle remains unused for a long pe-
riod, remove the battery and place it in a
cool and dry place. Recharge it completely,
by using a trickle charge.
If the battery remains on the vehicle, dis-
connect the cables from the terminals.
It is important to check the charge periodi-
cally (about once a month), during the win-
ter or when the vehicle remains unused, in
order to prevent the deterioration of the
battery.
