New tires have a relatively low grip on the
road surface until they have been slightly
worn. Therefore, approximately 100 km
should be traveled at normal speed before
any high-speed riding is done.
For tires with a direction of rotation mark
1:

Install the tire with the mark pointing in the
direction of wheel rotation.

Align the mark
2 with the valve installation
point.

CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
CHK
ADJ
WARNING
CAUTION:
EAS00178
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
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 per-
formance will deteriorate.

Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an 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 charging
the battery.
