NOTE:
Always balance the wheel after the replacement
or reassembly of a tyre or rim.
WARNING
Never try to repair a rim in any way.

cally to make sure that they do not have free play
in the hub and that the wheel turns smoothly with-
out sticking. Wheel bearings must always be
checked in accordance with the maintenance
table.

CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of poi-
sonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
•Wear protective eye gear when handling or
working near batteries.
•Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
•Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
•DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
•KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
•Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
First aid in case of bodily contact:
External
•SKIN – Wash with water.
•EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Internal
Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or
vegetable oil. Get immediate medical atten-
tion.
•This is a sealed battery. Never remove the
sealing caps because the balance
between cells will not be maintained and
battery performance will deteriorate.
•Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for a MF battery are dif-
ferent from those of conventional batter-
ies. The MF battery should be charged as
explained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charg-
ing the battery.
CAUTION:

CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY

Open-circuit voltage (V)
WARNING
Do not quick charge a battery.
•Never remove the MF battery sealing caps.
•Do not use a high-rate battery charger.
They force a high-amperage current into
the battery quickly and can cause battery
overheating and battery plate damage.
•If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
•When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the motorcycle (if charging
has to be done with the battery mounted
on the motorcycle, disconnect the nega-
tive lead from the battery terminal).
•To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the battery
charger leads are connected to the bat-
tery.
•Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure to
turn off the battery charger.
•Make sure that the battery charger lead
clips are in full contact with the battery
terminal and that they are not shorted. A
corroded battery charger lead clip may
generate heat in the contact area and a
weak clip spring may cause sparks.
•If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process, dis-
connect the battery charger and let the
battery cool before reconnecting it. Hot
batteries can explode!
•As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of a MF battery stabi-
lizes about 30 minutes after charging has
been completed. Therefore, wait 30 min-
utes after charging is completed before
measuring the open-circuit voltage.
