Maintenance Fundamentals
4. After cleaning, reinstall the battery.
The battery has a limited life span. Consult
your dealer about when you should replace
the battery. Always replace the battery with
another maintenance-free battery of the same
type.

Cleaning the Battery Terminals

2. If the terminals are starting to corrode and
are coated with a white substance, wash
with warm water and wipe clean.
3. If the terminals are heavily corroded, clean
the terminals with a wire brush or
sandpaper. Wear safety glasses.

Charging
If you use electrical accessories that drain the
battery or you do not ride frequently, we
recommend that you charge the battery every
30 days using a charger designed specifically
for your Honda, which can be purchased from
your dealer. Read the information that came
with your battery charger and follow the
instructions on the battery. Avoid using an
automobile-type battery charger, as these can
overheat a motorcycle battery and cause
permanent damage.
Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
position before charging the battery.
NOTICE
Improper charging can damage the battery. If you can’t
charge the battery or it appears unable to hold a charge,
contact your dealer.
