| * Early build XLX models may have had a VOES with a vacuum operating requirement of 7in-Hg resulting in a longer than necessary retarded ignition curve. This VOES should've been be replaced (by the dealership during warranty period) with a new VOES requiring only 4in-Hg vacuum for operation. The new VOES is identified by a white dot at the vacuum hose connection.

| * The MoCo advised to use sulfuric acid with a specific gravity of 1.270-1.280 for activating new batteries instead of automotive grade acid with 1.255-1.265 specific gravity due to motorcycle batteries being smaller in size than automotive batteries. The higher specific gravity will increase battery amperage output up to 20%. Also, the ball type hydrometers are not as accurate as the Kent Moore type (HD-96910-35). It is not recommended to add this higher specific gravity acid to batteries already in use.
