Be careful not to permit the charging current to
exceed 5 A at any time.
After recharging, wait for more than 30 minutes and check the
battery voltage with a multi circuit tester.
If the battery voltage is less than the 12.5 V, recharge the bat-
tery again.
If battery voltage is still less than 12.5 V, after recharging,
replace the battery with a new one.
When the motorcycle is not used for a long period, check the
battery every 1 month to prevent the battery discharge.
