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.

NOTE:
CAUTION:
NOTE:
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possible
to check the charge state of the battery by mea-
suring the specific gravity of the electrolyte.
Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be
checked by measuring the voltage at the battery
terminals.
1. Remove:
rider seat
Refer to “SEATS”.
2. Disconnect:
battery leads
(from the battery terminals)
First, disconnect the negative battery lead
1, and then the positive battery lead 2.
3. Remove:
battery
4. Check:
battery charge
a. Connect a pocket tester to the battery termi-
nals.

The charge state of an MF battery can be
checked by measuring its open-circuit voltage
(i.e., the voltage when the positive battery ter-
minal is disconnected).
No charging is necessary when the open-cir-
cuit voltage equals or exceeds 12.8 V.
b. Check the charge of the battery, as shown in
the charts and the following example.
Example
c. Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V
d. Charging time = 6.5 hours
e. Charge of the battery = 20 30%

WARNING
CAUTION:
5. Charge:
battery
(refer to the appropriate charging method il-
lustration)
Do not quick charge a battery.
Never remove the MF battery sealing caps.
Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause bat-
tery 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 negative bat-
tery 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 battery.
Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure to
turn off the battery charger.
Make sure 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 bat-
tery cool before reconnecting it. Hot batter-
ies can explode!
As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of an 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.

CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
CHK
ADJ
Measure the open-circuit
voltage prior to charging.
Connect a charged and
AMP meter to the battery
and start charging.
Make sure that the current
is higher than the standard
charging current written on
the battery.
By turning the charging
voltage adjust dial, set the
charging voltage at 20 24 V.
Adjust the voltage so that the
current is at the standard
charging level.Monitor the amperage for
3 5 minutes to check if the
standard charging current is
reached.
Set the time according to the
charging time suitable for the
open-circuit voltage.
Refer to “Battery condition
checking steps”.If the current does not
exceed the standard
charging current after 5
minutes, replace the battery.
If charging requires more than 5 hours, it is advisable to check the
charging current after a lapse of 5 hours. If there is any change in the
amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain the standard charging
current.
Measure the battery open-circuit voltage after leaving the battery
unused for more than 30 minutes.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.YES NO
YES
NONOTE:
Voltage should be measured 30
minutes after the machine is stopped.
NOTE:
Set the charging voltage at 16 17 V.
(If the setting is lower, charging will be
insufficient. If too high, the battery will
be over-charged.)
