Battery

The battery is located in the underride protection in front of the engine and is maintenance-

free. It is not necessary to check the electrolyte level or to refill water. Simply keep the bat-

tery poles clean and slightly grease them with an acid-free grease if necessary. The charge

condition and type of charge are very important for the battery's service life.

Never operate the motorcycle with a run-down battery or without the battery. This can dam-

age the electronic components or safety equipment in either caseand the motorcycle will no

longer be roadworthy.

Do not remove the locking strip [1] otherwise the battery will be damaged.
