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.

USING MULTI CIRCUIT TESTER
