Battery
The battery is located in the underride protection in front of the engine and is maintenance-
free. It is not necessary to check the electrolyte level or to refill water. Simply keep the bat-
tery poles clean and slightly grease them with an acid-free grease if necessary. The charge
condition and type of charge are very important for the battery's service life.
Never operate the motorcycle with a run-down battery or without the battery. This can dam-
age the electronic components or safety equipment in either caseand the motorcycle will no
longer be roadworthy.
Do not remove the locking strip [1] otherwise the battery will be damaged.
