following steps or the charging system of the motorcycle
could be damaged. (00214a)
NOTES:
Do not use chargers with excessively high voltage designed for flooded batteries or
excessively high current designed for much larger batteries. Do not charge at more
than 5 amps or more than 14.6 volts.
Most automatic, constant monitoring battery chargers are completely automatic and
can be left connected to both AC power and to the battery that is being charged. When
leaving this type of charger connected for extended periods of time, periodically check
the battery to see if it is unusually warm. This is an indication that the battery may
have a weak cell or internal short. Read the manufacturers instructions for the charger
being used.
3. Connect the red battery charger lead to positive terminal of the battery.
4. Connect the black battery charger lead to negative terminal of the battery.
NOTE:
If the battery is still in the vehicle, connect the negative lead to the chassis ground. Make
sure that the ignition and all electrical accessories are turned off.
5. Step away from the battery and turn on the charger.
Unplug or turn OFF battery charger before disconnecting
charger cables from battery. Disconnecting clamps with
charger ON can cause a spark and battery explosion,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00067a)
6. After the battery is fully charged, turn OFF the charger. Disconnect the black battery charger
lead from the negative terminal of the battery.
7. Disconnect the red battery charger lead from the positive terminal of the battery.
8. Mark the charging date on the battery.
Storage
If the motorcycle will not be operated for several weeks, such as during the winter season,
remove the battery from the motorcycle and fully charge.
If the motorcycle will be stored with the battery installed, connect an automatic, constant
monitoring charger/tender to maintain charge. See an authorized dealer for more information.
A battery that is removed from the vehicle is affected by self discharge. A battery that is stored in
the vehicle is affected by both self discharge and, more significantly, parasitic loads. Parasitic
loads occur from things like diode leakage and maintaining computer memory with the vehicle off.
Batteries self discharge at a faster rate at higher ambient temperatures.
To reduce the self discharge rate, store battery in a cool, dry place.
Charge the battery every two weeks if stored in the vehicle.
Charge the battery once per month if stored out of the vehicle.
