ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 16-29
Battery
WARNING
Keep the battery away from sparks and open flames during charging, since the battery
gives off an explosive gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. When using a battery charger,
connect the battery to the charger before turning on the charger.
This procedure prevents sparks at the battery terminals which could ignite any battery
gases.
No fire should be drawn near the battery, or no terminals should have the tightening loos-
ened.
The electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Be careful not to have it touch your skin or eyes. If
touched, wash it off with liberal amount of water. Get medial attention if severe.
Interchange
A sealed battery can fully display its performance only when combined with a proper vehicle electric
system. Therefore, replace a sealed battery only on a m otorcycle which was originally equipped with
asealedbattery.
Be careful, if a s ealed 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 with a digital voltmeter [A].
•
Remove:
Front Seat (see Front Seat Removal Frame chapter)
Battery Cable Caps (see Battery Removal)
•
Disconnect the battery terminals.
CAUTION
Be sure to disconnect the negative (–) cable first.
•
Measure the battery terminal voltage.
NOTE
○
Measure with a digital voltmeter which can be read one
decimal place v oltage.
If the reading is 12.8 V or more, no refresh charge is re-
quired, however, if the read is below the specified, refresh
charge is required.
Battery Terminal Voltage
Standard:
12.8 V or more
Terminal Voltage (V) [A]
Battery Charge Rate (%) [B]
Good [C]
Refresh charge is required [D]
Refreshing Charge
•
Remove the battery [A] (see Battery Removal).
•
Do refresh charge by following method according to the
battery terminal voltage.
WARNING
