MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE/
CONSUMER INFORMATION
WARNING
When using the starter motor to
crank the engine, remove the spark
plug wires, and ground them to pre-
vent sparking.
4. Remove the drive chain. Thor-
oughly clean the chain with kero-
sene and lubricate it. Reinstall the
chain or store it in a plastic bag
(tied to frame for safekeeping).
5. Lubricate all control cables.
6. Block up the frame to raise both
wheels off the ground.
7. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust
pipe outlet to prevent moisture
from entering.
8. If strong in a humid or salt-air at-
mosphere, coat all exposed metal
surfaces with a light film of oil. Do
not apply oil to any rubber parts or
the seat cover.9. Remove the battery and charge it.
Store it in a dry place and re-
change it once a month. Do not
store the battery in an excessively
warm or cold place (less than 0°C
(30°F) or more than 30°C (90°F)).
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
WARNINGWARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen
gas and contain electrolyte which is
made of poisonous and highly caustic
sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preven-
tive measures:
• Wear protective eye gear when han-
dling or working near batteries.
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated
area.
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks
or open flames (e.g., welding equip-
ment, lighted cigarettes).
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or
handling batteries.
• KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte
as it can cause severe burns or perma-
nent eye injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CON-
TACT:
EXTERNAL
• Skin – Wash with water.
• Eyes – Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
• Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg or vegetable oil. Get
immediate medical attention.
ACHTUNG:CAUTION:
• This is a sealed battery. Never remove
the sealing caps because the balance
between cells will not be maintained
and battery performance will deterio-
rate.
• Charging time, charging amperage
and charging voltage for an MF bat-
tery are different from those of con-
ventional batteries. The MF battery
should be charged as explained in the
charging method illustrations. If the
battery is overcharged, the electrolyte
level will drop considerably. There-
fore, take special care when charging
the battery.

CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
NOTE:
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not
possible to check the charge state of the
battery by measuring the specific gravity
of the electrolyte. Therefore, the charge of
the battery has to be checked by measur-
ing the voltage at the battery terminals.
1. Remove:
• rear cowling
Refer to “COWLINGS”.
• rear cowling bracket 1
• battery band 2
2. Disconnect:
• battery leads
(from the battery terminals)
ACHTUNG:CAUTION:
First, disconnect the negative lead 3,
then the positive lead 4.
3. Remove:

a. Connect a digital voltmeter to the bat-
tery terminals.
NOTE:
• The charge state of an MF battery can
be checked by measuring its open-cir-
cuit voltage (i.e., the voltage when the
positive terminal is disconnected).
• No charging is necessary when the
open-circuit voltage equals or exceeds
12.8 V.
b. Check the charge of the battery, as
shown in the charts and the following
example.
Example
Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V
Charging time = 6.5 hours
Charge of the battery = 20 ~ 30%

5. Charge:
• battery
(refer to the appropriate charging
method illustration)
WARNINGWARNING
Do not quick charge a battery.
ACHTUNG:CAUTION:
• Never remove the MF battery sealing
caps.
• Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage cur-
rent into the battery quickly and can
cause battery overheating and bat-
tery plate damage.
• If it is impossible to regulate the
charging current on the battery
charger, be careful not to overcharge
the battery.
• When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the motorcycle. (If
charging has to be done with the bat-
tery mounted on the motorcycle, dis-
connect the negative lead from the
battery terminal.)
• To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the
battery charger leads are connected to
the battery.
• Before removing the battery charger
lead clips from the battery terminals,
be sure to turn off the battery charger.
• Make sure that the battery charger
lead clips are in full contact with the
battery terminal and that they are not
shorted. A corroded battery charger
lead clip may generate heat in the con-
tact area and a weak clip spring may
cause sparks.
• If the battery becomes hot to the
touch at any time during the charging
process, disconnect the battery
charger and let the battery cool before
reconnecting it. Hot batteries can
explode!
• As shown in the following illustration,
the open-circuit voltage of an MF bat-
tery stabilizes about 30 minutes after
charging has been completed. There-
fore, wait 30 minutes after charging is
completed before measuring the
open-circuit voltage.
