below is important in order to
maximise battery life:
Keep the surface of the bat-
tery clean and dry
Do not open the battery
Do not top up with water
Be sure to read and com-
ply with the instructions for
charging the battery on the
following pages
Do not turn the battery up-

If the battery is not dis-
connected, the on-board
electronics (e.g. clock, etc.)
gradually drain the battery.
This can cause the battery
to run flat. If this happens,
warranty claims will not be ac-

If the motorcycle is to be out
of use for more than four
weeks, disconnect the battery
or connect a suitable trickle
charger to the battery.
Charging battery when
connected
Charging the connec-
ted battery directly at the
battery terminals can damage
the vehicle electronics.
Always disconnect the bat-
tery from the on—board cir-

a charger connected directly
to the battery posts.
