6.16. Battery
Your motorcycle is equipped with a maintenance-
free battery, which is installed under the tail sec-
tion. This battery does not require checking of the
fluid level or adding of distilled water.
If the battery seems to be run-down (causing elec-
trical problems or a difficult starting), recharge it
as soon as possible by connecting the charger to
the connector placed under the driver's seat.
Remember that the battery runs down more
quickly if your motorcycle is equipped with addi-
tional electrical accessories.
WARNING
If the battery casing is damaged, there
may be a leakage of sulphuric acid, a
HIGHLY TOXIC AND CORROSIVE sub-
stance. Avoid any contact with your
eyes, skin and clothes. Always wear
protective glasses when you have to
work near the battery.
