A sealed battery can fully display its performance only when combined with a proper vehicle electric system. Therefore, replace a sealed battery only on a motorcycle which was originally equipped with a sealed battery.
Be careful, if a sealed battery is installed on a motorcycle which had an ordinary battery as original equipment, the sealed battery’s life will be shortened.
System Components
1. FI ECU
The FI ECU analyzes the motorcycle conditions based
on the signals from the front/rear wheel rotation sensors
and FI sensors (such as the crankshaft sensor and main
throttle sensor), and controls engine power by reducing the
number of ignition and retarding the ignition timing. The
m ...
Coolant Level Inspection
Situate the motorcycle so that it is
perpendicular to the ground.
Check the coolant level through the
coolant level gauge on the reserve
tank located to the left of the engine.
The coolant level should be between
the “F” (Full) and “L” (Low) level lines.

Stick Coil Inspection
Remove the stick coils (see Stick Coil Removal).
Measure the primary winding resistance [A] as follows.
Connect the hand tester between the coil terminals.
Set the tester to the × 1 Ω range, and read the tester.
Measure the secondary winding resistance [B] as follows.
