RECOMMENDED BATTERY
Battery is an important material to obtain sure engine start and to maintain engine operation perfor-
mance.
Therefore, exact battery selection is required on a model.
Using maintenance-free sealed and/or gel cell batteries are not recommended, because they may
not be compatible with Yamaha’s charging system.
Read carefully the labels attached to the battery and follow the instruction supplied by battery man-
ufacturer when you treat or maintain the battery.
NOTICE
Do not use a battery which does not meet with the specified capacity.
If different battery from the specification is used, the electrical system may perform poorly
and/or overloaded, causing electrical system damage.
Select a suitable battery as shown in the table below.
* Under severe cold condition, twin or more battery with parallel wiring is required to start the engine.
* L/H rotation model has the same spec as R/H model.
