LONG INACTIVITY OF THE
BATTERY
CAUTION
When the motorcycle is to be left
unused for over twenty days,
disconnect the 30-A fuses, otherwise
the multifunction computer will keep
drawing current and the battery will
deteriorate.
NOTE Disconnecting the 30-A fuses will
reset the digital clock and red line setting.
See page 20 (MULTIFUNCTION
COMPUTER) for instructions on how to set
clock and red line.
When the vehicle is left unused for over a
fortnight, charge the battery to avoid
sulphation, see page 100 (CHARGING
THE BATTERY).
◆ Remove the battery, see page 99
(BATTERY REMOVAL) and store it in a
cool, dry place.
To avoid degradation in the wintertime or
while the vehicle is stored away, check
battery charge at regular intervals
(monthly).
◆ Charge the battery fully at normal charge
rate, see page 100 (CHARGING THE
BATTERY).
If you are leaving the battery fitted in the
vehicle, disconnect the leads from the
terminals.
CHECKING THE SWITCHES
Read page 61 (MAINTENANCE)
carefully.
The vehicle is fitted with four switches:
1) Brake light switch on the rear brake
lever.
2) Brake light switch on the front brake
lever.
3) Safety switch on the side stand.
4) Switch on the clutch lever.
◆ Clean the switch if caked with dirt or
mud. The pin must move freely and
return automatically to its initial position.
◆ Make sure that the cables are connected
correctly.
◆ Check the spring (5): it must not be
damaged, worn or weakened.
