Electrical System Maintenance
When working with your motorcycle's electrical system, it is important to observe certain safety precautions to protect both yourself, and the motorcycle.
Battery Maintenance
Do not connect or disconnect any device when current is flowing, otherwise electrical components might be damaged. The RX3 battery is maintenance free (MF). To prolong the life of the battery, never exceed the recommended charging rate.
The RX3 comes equipped with an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery. The lead plates of this battery are separated by thin sheets of glass fiber impregnated with a solution of water and sulfuric acid. AGM batteries are very safe because they will not leak acid, even if placed upside down, or if the container is broken.
AGM batteries are permanently sealed. The user never needs to add water to the battery. Oxygen and hydrogen produced during battery charging are recombined to produce water, ensuring a very small water loss during the lifetime of the battery.
Your RX3 motorcycle comes equipped with a YTZ12S battery.
Battery Capacity: 11 Ah
210 C.C.A.
Charging Rate: 1.1 amps for 10 hours
REMOVING/INSTALLING THE BATTERY:
Always verify the ignition switch is in the OFF position before removing or installing the battery cables. Always remove the negative cable (-) first. Do not use tools which might come into contact with the positive (+) terminal and generate short circuits.
When installing the battery, always connect the positive (+) cable first. Make sure both cables are securely attached to the battery.
