- Insert the nozzles of the electrolyte container (3) into the electrolyte filler holes of the battery.
- Hold the electrolyte container firmly so that it does not fall.
| Note do not allow any of the electrolyte to spill. |
- Make sure that air bubbles (4) rise to the top of each electrolyte container, and leave in this position for about more than 20 minutes.
| Note if no air bubbles come out from a filler port, tap the bottom of the electrolyte container two or three times. Never remove the container from the battery. |
- After confirming that the electrolyte has entered the battery completely, remove the electrolyte containers from the battery.

- Remove the battery from the motorcycle. Refer to “battery removal and installation” .
- Measure the battery voltage using the multi-circuit
tester.
If the voltage reading is less than the 12 v (dc), recharge the battery with a battery charger.
Recharging time 1.2 A for 5 to 10 hours or 5 a for 1 hour
| Caution be careful not to permit the charging current to exceed 5 a at any time. |
- After recharging, wait at least 30 minutes and then
measure the battery voltage using the multi-circuit
tester.
If the battery voltage is less than 12.5 V, recharge the battery again.
If the battery voltage is still less than 12.5 V after recharging, replace the battery with a new one.
