NOTICE Connect the cables to the correct battery terminals. Failure to do so could result in damage to the motorcycle electrical system. (00215a) ![]() Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00068a) NOTICE Do not over-tighten bolts on battery terminals. Use recommended torque values. Over-tightening battery terminal bolts could result in damage to battery terminals. (00216a) | ||
3. | Connect both battery cables, positive battery cable first. Tighten to 6.8–7.9 N·m (60–70 in-lbs). | |
NOTICE Keep battery clean and lightly coat terminals with petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. Failure to do so could result in damage to battery terminals. (00217a) | ||
