CHKADJCHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY

WARNING

CAUTION:

EAS00178

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMCHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY

Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gasand contain electrolyte which is made ofpoisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.Therefore, always follow these preventivemeasures:Wear protective eye gear when handling orworking near batteries.

Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.Keep batteries away from fire, sparks oropen flames (e.g., welding equipment,lighted cigarettes).

DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-dling batteries.

KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTEOUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as itcan cause severe burns or permanent eyeinjury.

First aid in case of bodily contact:ExternalSKIN – Wash with water.EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes andget immediate medical attention.

InternalDrink large quantities of water or milk fol-lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg orvegetable oil. Get immediate medical atten-tion.

This is a sealed battery. Never remove thesealing caps because the balance betweencells will not be maintained and batteryperformance will deteriorate.

Charging time, charging amperage andcharging voltage for a MF battery are differ-ent from those of conventional batteries.The MF battery should be charged as ex-plained in the charging method illustra-tions. If the battery is overcharged, theelectrolyte level will drop considerably.Therefore, take special care when chargingthe battery.

CHKADJCHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY

WARNING

CAUTION:

Do not quick charge a battery.

Make sure that the battery vent is free of ob-structions.

Never remove the MF battery sealing caps.Do not use a high-rate battery charger.They force a high-amperage current intothe battery quickly and can cause batteryoverheating and battery plate damage.

If it is impossible to regulate the chargingcurrent on the battery charger, be carefulnot to overcharge the battery.

When charging a battery, be sure to removeit from the motorcycle. (If charging has tobe done with the battery mounted on themotorcycle, disconnect the negative leadfrom the battery terminal.)

To reduce the chance of sparks, do notplug in the battery charger until the batterycharger leads are connected to the battery.

Before removing the battery charger leadclips from the battery terminals, be sure toturn off the battery charger.

Make sure that the battery charger leadclips are in full contact with the battery ter-minal and that they are not shorted. A cor-roded battery charger lead clip may gener-ate heat in the contact area and a weak clipspring may cause sparks.

If the battery becomes hot to the touch atany time during the charging process, dis-connect the battery charger and let the bat-tery cool before reconnecting it. Hot batter-ies can explode!

As shown in the following illustration, theopen-circuit voltage of a MF battery stabi-lizes about 30 minutes after charging hasbeen completed. Therefore, wait 30minutes after charging is completed beforemeasuring the open-circuit voltage.

Measure the open-circuitvoltage prior to charging.

Connect a charger and am-meter to the battery andstart charging.

Is the amperage higherthan the standard chargingamperage written on thebattery?

Adjust the charging voltage to20 25 V.

Adjust the voltage to obtain thestandard charging amperage.

Monitor the amperage for 3 5 minutes. Is the standardcharging amperage exceed-ed?

Set the timer to the chargingtime determined by the open-circuit voltage.Refer to “CHECKING ANDCHARGING THE BATTERY”.

If the amperage does notexceed the standard charg-ing amperage after 5 min-utes, replace the battery.

If the required charging time exceeds 5 hours, it is advisable to checkthe charging amperage after 5 hours. If there is any change in the am-perage, readjust the voltage to obtain the standard charging amper-age.

Leave the battery unused for more than 30 minutes before measur-ing its open-circuit voltage.12.8 V Charging is complete.12.0 12.7 V Recharging is required.Under 12.0 V Replace the battery.

While measuring the ten-link section, pushdown on the drive chain to increase its tension.

Measure the length between drive chain roller1 and 11 as shown.

Perform this measurement at two or three dif-ferent places.

2. Check:drive chainStiffness Clean and lubricate or replace.

3. Clean:drive chain

a. Wipe the drive chain with a clean cloth.b. Put the drive chain in kerosine and remove

any remaining dirt.c. Remove the drive chain from the kerosine

and completely dry it.

This motorcycle has a drive chain with smallrubber O-rings 1 between the drive chainside plates. Never use high-pressure wateror air, steam, gasoline, certain solvents(e.g., benzine), or a coarse brush to cleanthe drive chain. High-pressure methodscould force dirt or water into the drivechain’s internals, and solvents will deterio-rate the O-rings. A coarse brush can alsodamage the O-rings. Therefore, use onlykerosine to clean the drive chain.
