ELECTRICAL
A. Battery
1. The fluid level should be between the upper and lower level marks. Use only distilled water if refilling is necessary.
CAUTION: Normal tap water contains minerals which are harmful to a battery; therefore, refill only with distilled water.
2. Always make sure the connections are correct when installing the battery. Make sure the breather pipe is properly connected, properly routed, and is not damaged or obstructed.
CAUTION: The battery must be charged before using to insure maximum performance. Failure to properly charge the battery before first use or a low electrolyte level will cause premature failure of the battery.
Charging current: 1.2 amps/10 hrs or until the specific gravity reaches 1.280 at 20°C (6°F)
WARNING: Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous, causing severe burns, etc. It contains sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Antidote:
EXTERNAL-Flush with water,
INTERNAL -Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician immediately.
Eyes. Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away. Ventilate when charging or using in closed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Replenishing the battery fluid
A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate quickly. The battery fluid should be checked at least once a month.
1. Remove the seat.
2. Remove the handlebar cover and side panels (left and right).
3. The level should be between the upper and lower level marks. Use only distilled water if refilling is necessary.
CAUTION: Normal tap water contains minerals which are harmful to a battery; therefore, refill only with distilled water.
CAUTION: Install the battery sensor into 3RD hole from positive terminal.
1. Upper level 2. Lower level
1. Battery 2. Battery sensor
4. When the motorcycle is not to be used for a month or longer, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dark place. Completely recharge the battery before reusing.
5. If the battery is to be stored for a longer period than the above, check the specific gravity of the fluid at least once a month and recharge the battery when it is too low.
6. Always make sure the connections are correct when putting the battery back in the motorcycle.
Make sure the breather pipe is properly connected and is not damaged or obstructed.
CAUTION: Make sure that the connection to the battery is correct; otherwise, damage to the microcomputer may occur.
7. Reinstall the side panels (left and right) and handlebar cover. Then, reinstall the seat.
B. Headlight
This motorcycle is equipped with a quartz bulb headlight. If the headlight bulb burns out, replace the bulb as follows:
1. Headlight bulb replacement
a. Remove the headlight nacelle.
1. Nacelle holding screw
b. Remove the two blind plugs from the upper panels (left and right).
1. Blind plug
c. Remove the 2 screws holding the light unit assembly to the headlight body.
1. Holding screw
d. Disconnect the leads and remove the light unit assembly.
e. Turn the bulb holder counterclockwise and remove the defective bulb.
1. Bulb holder
f. Slip a new bulb into position and secure it with the bulb holder.
CAUTION: Avoid touching the glass part of the bulb. Also keep it free from oil stains; otherwise, the transparency of the glass, life of the bulb, and luminous flux will be adversely affected. If the glass is oil stained, thoroughly clean it with a cloth moistened with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
WARNING: Keep flammable products or your hands away from the bulb while it is on, because it heats up. Do not touch the bulb until it cools down.
g. For reassembly, follow procedure below with care.
1 ( Install the two blind plugs.
2) Make sure the projecting portions of the headlight nacelle are positioned correctly.
3) Adjust the headlight beam if necessary.
2. Headlight beam adjustment:
a Horizontal adjustment:
To adjust the beam to the left, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
To adjust the beam to the right, turn the screw counterclockwise.
b. Vertical adjustment:
To adjust the beam to the upper, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
a. Horizontal adjusting screw b Vertical adjusting screw
C. Fuse
1. The fuse block is located under the seat.
1. Fuse 2. Spare fuse
2. If any fuse is blown, turn off the ignition switch and the switch in the circuit in question, install a new fuse of proper amperage.
Turn on the switches, and see if the electrical device operates. If the fuse immediately blows again, find the cause in the circuit in question.
WARNING: Do not use fuses of a higher amperage rating than those recommended. Substitution of a fuse of improper rating can cause extensive electrical system damage and possible fire.
