Battery Maintenance
It is the owner’s responsibility to keep the battery
fully charged.
Failure to do so can lead to battery
failure and leave you stranded.
If you are driving your vehicle infrequently, inspect
the battery voltage weekly using a voltmeter.
If
it drops below 12.6 volts, the battery should be
charged using an appropriate charger (check with
your kawasaki dealer or visit by kawasaki.com). If
you will not be using your vehicle for longer than
two weeks, the battery should be charged using an
appropriate charger. Do not use an automotive-type
quick charger that may overcharge the battery and
damage it.
NOTE
°
Leaving the battery connected causes the electri-
cal components (clock etc) to make the battery dis-
charged, resulting the over discharge of the bat-
tery. In this case, the repair or replacement of the
battery is not included in the warranty. If you do
not drive for four weeks or more, disconnect the
battery from the vehicle.
Kawasaki-recommended chargers are:
Battery Mate 150-9
OptiMate 4
Yuasa MB-2040/2060
Christie C10122S
If the above chargers are not available, use equiv-
alent one.
For more details, ask your Kawasaki dealer.

battery at a rate (amperage × hours) that is indi-
cated on the battery.
If it is not possible to read
the rate, charge the battery at an amperage that
is about 1/10th of the battery capacity.
•
The charger will keep the battery fully charged un-
til you are ready to reinstall the battery in the vehi-
cle (see Battery Installation).
NOTICE
Never remove the sealing strip, or the battery
can be damaged.
Do not install a conventional battery in this
vehicle, or the electrical system cannot work
properly.
NOTE
°
If you charge the sealed battery, never fail to ob-
serve the instructions shown on the label on the
battery or changer.

Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to
