 SERVICE INFORMATION
 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
 CHARGING SYSTEM
 · The battery can be charged and discharged repeatedly. If a discharged battery is not used for a
 long time, its service life will be shortened. Generally, the capacity of a battery will decrease after
 it is used for 23 years. A capacity-decreased battery will resume its voltage after it is recharged
 but its voltage decreases suddenly and then increases when a load is added.
 · When a battery is overcharged, some symptoms can be found. If there is a short circuit inside the

 battery, no voltage is produced on the battery terminals. If the rectifier won`t operate, the voltage
 will become too high and shorten the battery service life.
 · If a battery is not used for a long time, it will discharge by itself and should be recharged every 3

 months.
 · A new battery filled with electrolyte will generate voltage within a certain time and it should be
 recharged when the capacity is insufficient. Recharging a new battery will prolong its service life.
 · Inspect the charging system according to the sequence specified in the Troubleshooting.
 · Do not disconnect and soon reconnect the power of any electrical equipment because the
 electronic parts in the regulator/rectifier will be damaged. Turn off the ignition switch before
 operation.
 · It is not necessary to check the MF battery electrolyte or fill with distilled water.
 · Check the load of the whole charging system.
 · Do not quick charge the battery. Quick charging should only be done in an emergency.
 · Remove the battery from the motorcycle for charging.
 · When replacing the battery, do not use a traditional battery.
 · When charging, check the voltage with an electric tester.
 IGNITION SYSTEM
 · Some electrical components may be damaged if terminals or connectors are connected or
  disconnected while the ignition switch is "ON" and current is present.
 · When servicing the ignition system, always follow the steps in the troubleshooting on page 18-2.

 ·  The ignition timing cannot be adjusted since the ignition control module is already adjusted in
  factory.
 · The ignition control module or ECU maybe damaged if dropped or the connector is disconnected

 when the key is      ON      , the excessive voltage may damage the ignition control module or
 ECU. Always turn off the ignition switch before servicing.
 · A faulty ignition system is often related to poor connections. Check those connections before
 proceeding.
 · Make sure the battery is adequately charged. Using the starter motor with weak battery results in

 a slower engine cranking speed as well as no spark at the spark plug.
 · Use a spark plug of the correct heat range. Using spark plug with an incorrect heat range can
 damage the engine.
 STARTING SYSTEM
 · The removal of starter motor can be accomplished with the engine installed.
 · For the starter clutch removal, refer to page 10-3.
 · After the starter clutch is installed, be sure to add the engine oil and coolant and then bleed air
 from the cooling system.
