CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY

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.

Replace.
a. Suspend the thermostat in a container filled
with water.
b. Slowly heat the water.
c. Place a thermometer in the water.
d. While stirring the water, observe the thermo-
stat and thermometer’s indicated tempera-
ture.
