ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 7-3
BATTERY
• The MF battery used in this motorcycle does not require main-
tenance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled water
replenishment).
• During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced. How-
ever, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced. Therefore, be sure there are no fire or spark sources
(e.g., short circuit) nearby when charging the battery.
• Be sure to recharge the battery in a well-ventilated and open
area.
• Note that the charging system for the MF battery is different
from that of a conventional battery. Do not replace the MF
battery with a conventional battery.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY
• When disconnecting terminals from the battery for disassem-
bly or servicing, be sure to disconnect the
- battery lead
wire, first.
• When connecting the battery lead wires, be sure to connect
the
+ battery lead wire, first.
• If the terminal is corroded, remove the battery, pour warm
water over it and clean it with a wire brush.
• After connecting the battery, apply a light coat of grease to the
battery terminals.
• Install the cover over the
+ battery terminal.
WIRING PROCEDURE
• Properly route the wire harness according to the “WIRE
ROUTING” section. (!8-14 to 8-18)
USING THE MULTI CIRCUIT TESTER
• Properly use the multi circuit tester
+ and
- probes.
Improper use can cause damage to the motorcycle and
tester.
• If the voltage and current values are not known, begin mea-
suring in the highest range.
• When measuring the resistance, make sure that no voltage is
applied. If voltage is applied, the tester will be damaged.
• After using the tester, be sure to turn the switch to the OFF
position.
