Battery A poorly maintained battery will cor-
rode and discharge quickly. The elec-
trolyte level, battery lead connections
and breather hose routing should be
checked before each ride and at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.
NOTE:@ Make sure that the motorcycle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
electrolyte level. @2. Check the electrolyte level in the
battery.NOTE:@ The electrolyte should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks. @
3. If the electrolyte is at or below the
minimum level mark, add distilled
water to raise it to the maximum
level mark.

burns. Avoid any contact with
skin, eyes or clothing and al-
ways shield your eyes when
working near batteries. In case
of contact, administer the fol-
lowing FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.

tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.
