881zMaintenance

Seat bulb holder1in the light
carrier.Jump starting
The wires leading to the
power socket do not have
a load-capacity rating adequate
for jump-starting the engine. Ex-
cessively high current can lead
to a cable fire or damage to the
vehicle electronics.
Do not use the on-board socket
to jump-start the engine of the
motorcycle. Touching live parts of the
ignition system with the
engine running can cause electric
shock.
Do not touch parts of the igni-
tion system when the engine is
running.
A short-circuit can res-
ult if the crocodile clips
of the jump leads are accident-
ally brought into contact with the
motorcycle.
Use only jump leads fitted with
fully insulated crocodile clips at
both ends.
Jump-starting with a donor-
battery voltage higher than
12 V can damage the vehicle
electronics.
Make sure that the battery of the
donor vehicle has a voltage rating
of 12 V.
Remove the right side panel
( 93) When jump-starting the engine,
do not disconnect the battery
from the on-board electrical
system.
Disengage rubber retaining
strap
1from the holder at the
bottom and pull battery 2partly
out.
Run the engine of the donor
vehicle during jump-starting.
890zMaintenance

Begin by connecting one end
of the red jump lead to posit-
ive terminal3of the discharged
battery and the other end to
the positive terminal of the
donor battery.
Then connect one end of the
black jump lead to the negative
terminal of the donor battery,
and the other end to a suitable
grounding point on this motor-
cycle.
Start the engine of the vehicle
with the discharged battery
in the usual way; if the en-
gine does not start, wait a few
minutes before repeating the attempt in order to protect the
starter motor and the donor
battery.
Allow both engines to idle for a
few minutes before disconnect-
ing the jump leads.
Disconnect the jump lead from
the negative terminal and the
ground point first, then dis-
connect the second jump lead
from positive terminal
3.
Do not use proprietary
start-assist sprays or oth-
er products to start the engine.
Install the right side panel

BatteryMaintenance instructionsCorrect upkeep, recharging and
storage will prolong the life of
the battery and are essential if
warranty claims are to be con-
sidered. Compliance with the points be-
low is important in order to max-
imise battery life:
Keep the surface of the battery
clean and dry
Do not open the battery
Do not top up with water
Be sure to read and comply
with the instructions for char-
ging the battery on the follow-
ing pages
Do not turn the battery upside
down
If the battery is not discon-
nected, the on-board elec-
tronics (e.g. clock, etc.) gradually
drain the battery. This can cause
the battery to run flat. If this hap-
pens, warranty claims will not be
accepted.
If the motorcycle is to be out of
use for more than four weeks,
disconnect the battery or con-
nect a suitable trickle charger to
the battery.
