Battery Installation

When installing a new battery, make sure it's fully charged prior to its initial use. Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the battery and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance. Follow the battery charging instructions before installing the battery.

  1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

  2. Set the battery in the battery holder.

  3. Place the battery shield on the battery bracket.

  4. Install the battery hold-down strap.

  5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.

  6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.

    CAUTION
    Verify the battery cables and wiring harness do not come into contact with the brake disc. Move the wiring harness/cables behind the chassis tube and away from the brake disc.

  7. Route the BROWN harness ground wires 1 and BLACK main battery ground cable 2 as shown in the image. Both are routed up and over the rubber strap. If the ground wires/cable are routed down the side of the battery, they may interfere with the rear side panel tab. Note the routing of the RED (positive) battery cable 3 and that the right fender is pulled away from the chassis. Item 4 is the constant power fuse connector.

  8. Verify that cables are properly routed.

    NOTICE
    Ensure that the battery wires are routed in such a way that they cannot come into contact with the brake disc.

  9. Secure the right fender using the plastic rivet.

  10. Reinstall the console using the two plastic rivets. Reinstall the side panel.
