If your motorcycle battery is “run down”, it should be removed and charged. If this is not practical, a 12 volt booster battery and jumper cables may be used to start the engine.
DANGER
Battery acid generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
It is present within a battery at all times, even in a discharged condition. Keep all flames and sparks (cigarettes) away from the battery. Wear eye protection when working with a battery. In the event of battery acid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing, wash the affected areas immediately with water for at least 5 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Connecting Jumper Cables
A. From Booster Battery Positive (+) Terminal
B. Swingarm Pivot
C. From Booster Battery Negative (–) Terminal
DANGER
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can cause burns and produce hydrogen gas which is highly explosive. Do not make this last connection at the fuel system or battery. Take care not to touch the positive and negative cables together, and do not lean over the battery when making this last connection. Do not connect to a frozen battery. It could explode. Do not reverse polarity by connecting positive (+) to negative (–), or a battery explosion and serious damage to the electrical system may occur.
NOTICE
Do not operate the starter continuously for more than 5 seconds or the starter will overheat and the battery power will drop temporarily. Wait 15 seconds between each operation of the starter to let it cool and the battery power recover.
Subthrottle Sensor Output Voltage Inspection
Measure the output voltage at the subthrottle sensor in
the same way as input voltage inspection, note the following.
Disconnect the subthrottle sensor connector and connect
the setting adapter [A] between these connectors.

Stator Coil Installation
Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the threads of
the stator coil bolts and tighten them.
