CHARGING THE BATTERY
The battery is charged by connecting the supplied bat-
tery charger to the connector located under the pas-
senger seat. If the battery is charged after a period of
vehicle downtime, make sure that the charger fuse is
placed inside its housing on the remote ignition switch.
Put the motorcycle key inside the rear lock. Turn the
key clockwise and at the same time turn the seat.
Take out the rubber cap (1) for the charger connector.
E
Before charging, connect the battery charger to the
connector of the vehicle as shown in the figure. Then
connect the battery charger to the AC outlet.
The amber light will go on indicating that it has started
charging, and will last between 0 and 12 hours depend-
ing on the battery conditions.
When charging is complete the green light will come
on.
The supplied battery charger is equipped with a safety
system that produces voltage in output only if the polar-
ities of the cables are correct and the battery that you
intend to charge has a voltage of at least 3V.
When connected, the battery charger automatically
detects the battery conditions, delivering optimal volt-
age values and current intensity to maximise perfor-
mance and increase the duration of the service life of
the battery.
If the supplied battery charger is not available, it is pos-
sible to use other types of battery chargers with a con-
stant voltage charging method to avoid overcharging
the batteries, as shown in the table on the side.
Overcharging the battery or charging it rapidly may
lower the level of the electrolyte, thus making the bat-
tery unusable.
Voltages lower than 11.8V shorten the life
NOTE
and impair the operation of the battery.
Checking stored batteries once a month pro-
longs their life while keeping them in perfect
working order for future use.

Do you have a question about the Rivale 800 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
o que faz a rivale não ligar?
The MV Agusta Rivale 800 may not start if the dashboard is not powered when the key switch is in the ON position. The possible causes include:
1. A blown fuse on the starter relay.
2. A blown fuse in position 5 of the fuse box.
3. A wiring continuity issue.
To diagnose, check the condition of the mentioned fuses first. If they are in good condition, perform a continuity test as described in the manual.

The rpm limiter indicator light is on with I riding. What the issue, or how the bike off and when I turn it off? Thanks.
If the RPM limiter indicator light is on while riding a MV Agusta Rivale 800, it means the engine speed is approaching the RPM limit. The light comes on at a number of revolutions per minute (rpm) that depends on the selected gear, and the limiter intervenes at 13,000 rpm to prevent engine over-revving.
