EAU00800
BatteryThis motorcycle is equipped with a
sealed-type battery. Therefore it is not
necessary to check the electrolyte or
fill the battery with distilled water.l
If the battery seems to have dis-
charged, consult a Yamaha deal-
er.
l
If the motorcycle is equipped with
optional electrical accessories,
the battery tends to discharge
more quickly, so be sure to re-
charge it periodically.
EC000101
CAUTION:
Never try to remove the sealing
caps of the battery cells. The bat-tery will be damaged.
EW000116
WARNING
Battery electrolyte is poisonous
and dangerous, causing severe
burns, etc. It contains sulfuric acid.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing.
ANTIDOTE:l
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
l
INTERNAL: Drink large quanti-
ties of water or milk. Follow
with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Call a
physician immediately.
l
EYES: Flush with water for
15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes etc.,
away. Ventilate when charging or
using in an enclosed space. Always
shield your eyes when working near
batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF

CAUTION:l
Completely recharge the bat-
tery before storing. Storing a
discharged battery can cause
permanent battery damage.

Use a battery charger designed
for a sealed-type (MF) battery.
Using a conventional battery
charger will cause battery
damage. If you do not have a
sealed-type battery charger,
contact your Yamaha dealer.

7. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, then raise the
motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alter-
natively, turn the wheels a little ev-
ery month in order to prevent the
tires from becoming degraded in
one spot.
8. Cover up the muffler outlets with
plastic bags to prevent moisture
from entering.
9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in
an excessively cold or warm place
(less than 0˚C or more than 30˚C).
For more information, see “Bat-
tery storage” in the chapter “PE-
RIODIC MAINTENANCE AND
MINOR REPAIRS”.
