Warning
Before carrying out any operations on the battery, keep in mind the safety standards (sect.1 - 3, General safety rules).
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic and can cause burns if it comes into contact with the skin because it contains sulphuric acid. Wear protective clothing, a face-mask and goggles when adding electrolyte. If the liquid comes into contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with cold water. If it comes into contact with the eyes, wash thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult an ophthalmologist. In the event of accidental ingestion, drink large quantities of water or milk, and continue with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Do not allow sparks, flames, cigarettes or any other heat source to come near the battery, as it produces explosive gases. When recharging or using the battery indoors, make sure that the room is adequately ventilated. Do not inhale the gases produced during recharging. Keep out of reach of children.
Place the battery on a flat surface. Remove the protective film (1).
Warning
Make certain that the electrolyte is of the specific type for your battery.
Remove the container with the electrolyte from the plastic bag. Remove the cap strip (3) from the container (2).
Important
Keep the cap strip (3) to hand because it will be used later as plugs for the battery cells.
Warning
Do not peel or perforate the sealed areas.
Place the electrolyte container (2) upside down. Align the six sealed elements with the six filler holes on the battery.
Push the container (2) downwards with sufficient force to break the seals and allow the liquid to flow out.
Note
Do not tilt the electrolyte container as this could interrupt the flow temporarily or even permanently.
Make certain that air bubbles emerge from all six filler holes. Leave the container in this position for at least twenty minutes.
If no bubbles emerge from one of the holes, tap gently on the bottom of the respective container.
Important
Never move the container away from the battery. Do not cut or puncture the liquid container.
Make sure that all the electrolyte has flowed out. Carefully extract the container (2) from the battery.
Fit the cap bar (3) -previously removed from the electrolyte container (2)- to the battery, ensure the caps plug off all filler holes.
3 -12 Ah batteries: leave to stand for at least 30 min.
12 Ah batteries: leave to stand for at least 1 hour.
Rest the cap strip on the filler holes without fixing it. Recharge the battery as described in the paragraph "recharging the battery".
Note
When using an automatic reduction battery charger, check that the charger current (ampere) is equal or higher than the value of standard charging system (std) indicated on the battery itself.
Press firmly downwards with both hands until the caps are firmly in place (do not use a hammer).

This function shows the average speed of the motorcycle.
The calculation is made considering the distance and time travelled since the
last trip 1 reset. When trip 1 is reset, the
value is set to zero and the first available value is shown on the display 10
seconds after the reset. Dashes "- ...
Refitting the shock absorber support
If you had removed them, apply recommended grease on the threads of the
adjusters (4) and the ring nuts (3) having
care not to have grease on the surface (c) of the adjusters.
