Battery
This model is equipped with a 12-volt VRLA
(valve-regulated lead-acid) battery. There is no
need to check the electrolyte or to add distilled
water. However, the battery lead connections
need to be checked and tightened, and the bat-
tery terminals cleaned if corroded. If the battery
seems to have discharged, recharge it as soon as
possible.
TIP
Wear gloves and eye protection in a ventilated
area away from sparks and open flames. Wash
hands after handling.
It is recommended to have the battery serviced
by a Yamaha dealer.
