Charging and maintenance of the battery during winter storage Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1), located under the seat, to which you can connect a special battery charger (2) (Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601A - various countries; Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601AX - for Japan, China and Australia only) available from our sales network. 1 Note The electric system of this model is designed so as to ensure there is a very low power drain when the motorcycle is off. Nevertheless, the battery features a certain self-discharge rate that is normal and depends on ambient conditions as well as on "nonuse" time.
