ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 6-3
BATTERY
• The MF battery used in this motorcycle does not require main-
tenance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled water replen-
ishing).
• During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced. How-
ever, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced. Therefore, be sure that there are no fire or spark sources
nearby (e.g., short-circuit) 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 bat-
tery 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 wa-
ter over it and clean it using a wire brush.
• After connenting the battery, apply a light coat of grease to the
battery terminals.
• Reinstall the cover over the battery (
+
) terminal.
USING MULTI CIRCUIT TESTER
• Properly use the multi circuit tester (
+
) and (
_
) probes. Im-
proper use can cause damage to the motorcycle and tester.
• If the voltage and current values are not known, begin measur-
ing 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, turn the switch to the OFF position.
"
Before using the multi circuit tester, read its instruction
manual.
WIRING PROCEDURE
• Properly route the wire harness according to “WIRE, CABLE
AND HOSE ROUTING”. (! 7-11 to 7-18)
