ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 7-3
BATTERY (DR-Z400E)
The battery has been pre-filled with electrolyte so there is no
need to add fluid at any time.
The MF battery used in this motorcycle does not require main-
tenance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled water re-
plenishment).
During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced. How-
ever, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced. Therefore, make sure that 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 (DR-Z400E)
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.
