Battery Removal / Installation

WARNING
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery, always disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery, always connect the negative (black) cable last.

  1. Remove the seat. See Seat Removal / Installation (1-Up Models).

  2. If equipped, disconnect the WCM connector 1 and the LF antenna connector 2.

  3. Remove the wire harness 3 from the retention feature on the cover.

  4. Remove the two cover bolts 4 and retain. Tool: 6mm Hex Socket

  5. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal screw 5 and cable. Tool: Phillips Screwdriver or 10mm Hex Socket

    TIP

    Reinstall the screw into the battery after removal to capture the nut in the battery post.

  6. Remove the positive (+) jump start terminal cap 6 to aid in removal of the cover.

    TIP
    Keep the positive (+) jump start terminal cap tethered to the cover so it does not get lost.
