Long periods of disuse

Sulphation during long periods of disuse, usually during off-season months, is one of the main causes of motorcycle battery malfunction. Sulphates released as the battery discharges collect on the plates and harden, causing battery performance to suffer or fail completely. That's why it's extremely important to observe the following guidelines:

  1. Charge the battery and store it in a dry, clean place. Disconnect the battery's negative terminal from the motorcycle.
  2. Regularly check the state of charge and recharge if necessary.
