Servicing Your Honda 209
Battery
Your motorcycle has a maintenance-free type battery. You do not have to check
the battery electrolyte level or add distilled water as you would with a
conventional-type battery.
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently damaged if the
cap strip is removed.
Electrical accessories use current from the battery, even when the ignition is
OFF. Limited operation also allows the battery to discharge. If you have
electrical accessories on your motorcycle or do not ride frequently, we
recommend that you charge the battery frequently (see Battery Charging, page
212).
If you do not expect to ride your motorcycle for at least two weeks, we
recommend you remove the battery, or at least disconnect the battery cables
(negative cable first).
If you plan to store your motorcycle, see Battery Storage, page 210.
If your battery seems weak and/or is leaking electrolyte (causing slow starting
or other electrical problems), see your dealer.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
