To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the bat-

have discharged. Keep in mind that the
battery tends to discharge more quicklyif the vehicle is equipped with optional
electrical accessories.
To store the battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove the
battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
2. If the battery will be stored for more
than two months, check it at least
once a month and fully charge it if
necessary.
3. Fully charge the battery before in-
stallation.
4. Before installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly con-
nected to the battery terminals.
CAUTION:
ECAT1051
Always keep the battery
charged. Storing a discharged
battery can cause permanent
battery damage.
To charge a sealed-type (MF)
battery, a special (constant-volt-
age) battery charger is required.
Using a conventional battery
charger will damage the battery.
If you do not have access to asealed-type (MF) battery charg-
er, have a Yamaha dealer
charge your battery.
After installing the battery, be
sure to turn the main switch
from “ON” to “OFF” three times
in 3 seconds intervals to initial-
ize the idle speed control sys-
tem.
