Charging time Normal charging
Charging time varies depending on the
riding conditions before charging, re-
maining battery level, and ambient tem-
perature. It takes approximately seven
hours to charge the battery from a 0%
charged level in the optimum ambient
temperature range of 15 C – 25 C.TIPWhen the charging process is complet-
ed, the power from the built-in batterycharger is cut off automatically.
Waiting mode for charging
The vehicle enters a waiting mode if the temperature is not suitable for charging
as follows:

The battery may be above the
maximum 50
C immediately after
riding. In this case, the charger en-
ters a waiting mode and “HEAT”
flashes until the battery and bat-
tery charger reach the specified
temperature.

If ambient temperature is below –5
 C, “COOL” flashes until the bat-
tery and battery charger reach the
specified temperature.
When the temperature is suitable for
charging, charging starts automatically.
