- Recommended charging time = 5 - 8 hours.<br />
- The product of (charging power) x (charging time) has to stay<br />
within the range:0,5 - 0,8 Cn.<br />
NOTE<br />
In case charging modes different than the established ones are<br />
used, by no means, may the maximum allowed power or the<br />
charging time of 24 hours be surpassed.<br />
CAUTION<br />
Exceeding charge standards may reduce the life cycle of the battery.<br />
Never surpass charge standards.<br />
CAUTION<br />
Inverting the polarity of the battery terminals may cause battery<br />
charge problems and cause damage to it.<br />
The red terminal is the positive (+) and the black terminal is the<br />
negative (-).<br />
COOLING SYSTEM<br />
Radiator Hoses<br />
Check the radiator hoses for cracks or deterioration, and connections<br />
for looseness in acordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart.<br />
Radiator<br />
Check the radiator fins for obstruction by insects or mud. Clean off<br />
any obstructions with a stream of lowpressure water.<br />
EC FSE 2003 -18-<br />
CAUTION<br />
Using high-pressure water, as from a car wash facility, could damage<br />
the radiator fins and impair the radiator´s effectiveness.<br />
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow through the radiator by installing<br />
unauthorized accessories in front of the radiator.<br />
Interference with the radiator airflow can lead to overheating and<br />
consequent engine damage.<br />
Coolant<br />
Coolant absorbs excessive heat from the engine and transfers it to<br />
the air at the radiator. If the coolant level becomes low, the engine<br />
overheats and may suffer severe damage. Check the coolant level<br />
each day before riding the motorcycle. Replenish coolant if the level<br />
is low.<br />
WARNING<br />
To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap or try to change the<br />
coolant when the engine is still hot. Wait until it cools down.<br />
Coolant information<br />
To protect the cooling system aluminum parts (engine and radiator)<br />
from rust and corrosion, the use for corrosion and rust inhibitor<br />
chemicals in the coolant is essential. If coolant containing corrosion<br />
and rust inhibitor chemicals is not used, over a period of time, the<br />
cooling system accumulates rust and scale in the water jacket and<br />
radiator. This will clog coolant passages, and reduce the efficiency<br />
of the cooling system.
