I think that is about all you need to know......other than what kind of charger to get.
A "dual range" one is most versitile. Something like 2/6 or 2/8 etc. The 2 setting is for motorcycles and lawn mowers and the higher setting is for cars and trucks.
Select the 2 range and 12V. Plug in the charger (do not touch the clip leads together!!).
Connect black clip to negative battery; connect red clip to positive (+) battery.....making sure that it does NOT also touch the frame.
Note that the meter on the charger goes up about half way or more.
Leave connected at least a couple of hours or until the meter goes down to about 1/8 scale. It won't hurt to leave it connected for 8-10 hours just to be sure.
Disconnect the charger before you try to start the bike.
It is a little easier to see what you are doing with the seat AND side cover removed.
AND finally, the owner's manual AND service manual AND parts list are available here for downloading. They are also available through the dealer for a "nominal" cost !!
P.S. OR find a friend who knows about all this stuff and ask for help. :biggrin:
I would volunteer but we're not quite close enough to make it an easy ride.
