Battery Removal
-
Remove the seat to access the battery compartment.
-
On conventional batteries, remove the battery vent tube.
-
Disconnect the black (-) battery cable first. Disconnect the red (+) battery cable last.
-
Remove the battery hold-down strap.
-
Lift the battery out of the vehicle. Be careful not to tip a conventional battery sideways, which could spill electrolyte.
If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it off with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water to prevent damage to the vehicle.
