3. Check that the end face of the axle head and
the end face of the fork side are flush-
mounted. If they are out of alignment, make
sure to fit them by adding the external force
by hand or with a plastic hammer, etc.
If the end face of the axle is not parallel to the
end face of the fork, align them so that one
point of the axle circumference is positioned
on the end face of the fork.
At this stage, it can be accepted if the end
face of the axle becomes partially concave
to the end face of the fork.

J Fasten the wire harness, clank
shaft position sensor lead, rear
brake light switch lead and

T Hold down the clamp tips after
passing each lead.U Make sure to position the cou-
pler at the downmost position of
leads. However, the coupler
should be set in the rear frame so
that it is not caught by the seat

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.
