NOTE: The maintainer/charger will charge the battery to 95% capacity at which time the Maintenance Charge Indicator (D) will illuminate and the maintainer/charger will change to pulse/float maintenance. If the battery falls below 12.9 DC volts, the charger will automatically start again at the first step of the charge sequence.

7. Once the battery has reached full charge, unplug the charger from the 110-volt electrical outlet. NOTE: If, after charging, the battery does not perform to operator expectations, bring the battery to an authorized dealer for further troubleshooting.

Electronic Power Steering (EPS)

Component data and system updates can be retrieved/performed using the CATT II. Navigate the screens as required.

NOTE: Certain models have been produced with electronic power steering. The following information is intended to be used when servicing these models.

3300A

NOTE: Not using a battery charger with the proper float maintenance will damage the battery if connected over extended periods. Charging NOTE: It is recommended to use the CTEK Multi US 800 or the CTEK Multi US 3300 for battery maintenance charging.

1. Be sure the battery and terminals have been cleaned with a baking soda and water solution. NOTE: The sealing strip should NOT be removed and NO fluid should be added.

2. Be sure the charger and battery are in a well-ventilated area. Be sure the charger is unplugged from the 110-volt electrical outlet. 3. Connect the red terminal lead from the charger to the positive terminal of the battery; then connect the black terminal lead of the charger to the negative terminal of the battery. 4. Plug the charger into a 110-volt electrical outlet. 5. By pushing the Mode button (A) on the left side of the charger, select the Normal Charge Icon (E). The Normal Charge Indicator (C) should illuminate on the upper left portion of the charger. 6. The battery will charge to 95% of its capacity at which time the Maintenance Charge Indicator (D) will illuminate. NOTE: For optimal charge and performance, leave the charger connected to the battery for a minimum 1 hour after the Maintenance Charge Indicator (D) illuminates. If the battery becomes hot to the touch, stop charging. Resume after it has cooled. Code

Fault Description

C1301 Over Current C1302 Excessive Current Error

90

Fault Condition EPS internal over-current condition has been detected EPS internal current measurement error has been detected

The electronic power steering (EPS) system is an electro-mechanical device that utilizes 12-volt DC power to drive a motor linked to the steering shaft to assist the rider when rotating the handlebar. Rider steering inputs are detected by a torque-sensing transducer assembly within the EPS housing. These inputs are converted to electronic signals by the transducer and control circuitry to tell the motor which way to drive the steering shaft. When no steering input (pressure on the handlebar) is detected, no torque signal is generated, and no steering assist is provided by the motor. If an electrical-related EPS system malfunction occurs, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be displayed on the LCD gauge. Check for updates and verify any active DTCs using the most up-to-date CATT II software. The following is a list of DTCs, possible conditions, and causes. NOTE: If no active codes are present on the LCD or verified through CATT II and the vehicle is experiencing steering-related issues, there may be a mechanical steering-related issue. In this case, the EPS is not the cause of the issue. Components that may contribute to this type of issue could be abnormal tire wear, bad wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, tie rods, or bushings. Check the complete steering system for any sign of wear or misalignment. NOTE: If any code C1306-C1315 or C1317-C1325 are active and verified with CATT II, EPS replacement is not necessary. Follow the instructions listed in the chart to correct the malfunction.
