Interchange

The sealed battery can fully display its performance only when combined with a proper vehicle elec­tric 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 Seat Removal in the Frame chap­ter).

• Disconnect the battery terminals.

CAUTION Be sure to disconnect the negative terminal first.

• Measure the battery terminal voltage.

NOTE

О 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
