15-22 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Battery
Interchange
The sealed battery can fully display its performance only when combined with a proper vehicle elec-
tric system. Therefore, replace the sealed battery only on a motorcycle which was originally equipped
with the sealed battery.
Be careful, if a sealed battery is installed on a motorcycle which had an ordinary battery as original
equipment, the sealed battery’s life will be shortened.
Charging Condition Inspection
Battery charging condition can be checked by measuring
battery terminal voltage.
•
Remove the seat (see Frame chapter).
•
Disconnect the battery terminals.
CAUTION
Be sure to disconnect the negative terminal first.
•
Measure the battery terminal voltage.
NOTE
○
Measure with a digital voltmeter [A] which can be read
one decimal place voltage.
If the reading is below the specified, refreshing charge is
required.
Battery Terminal Voltage
Standard:
12.8 V or more
Refreshing Charge
•
Disconnect the battery terminals (see Charging Condition
Inspection).
•
Remove the battery [A].
•
Do refresh-charge by following method according to the
battery terminal voltage.
WARNING
This battery is sealed type. Never remove seal cap
[B] even at charging. Never add water. Charge with
current and time as stated below.
