Battery Charging and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Read and follow the safety precautions listed
on the battery and the proper battery charging procedures outlined
in the Owner’s Manual.
If your motorcycle will not be used for a period of two weeks or longer, a maintenance charger should be connected to the battery using the Battery Charge Port.
Your motorcycle is equipped with a SAE bullet style connector for quick access to charging the battery. The connector is located behind the left-hand side V cover and taped to the chassis harness. A maintenance charger can be connected to it for extended periods (for example, winter storage).
Carefully remove the tape to expose the connector and length of
wire. Be sure to properly secure the wire and connector before operating
the vehicle.
CAUTION
Before connecting a battery charger to the Battery
Charge Port, ensure the vehicle has cooled to ambient temperature.
Do not allow cables to rest on hot or sharp surfaces while charging.
