Battery Removed

The images displayed above show a slightly more involved removal process. I was attempting to access the valves beneath the battery. You will not need to get quite so involved with the steps shown in the image. Simply follow what's mentioned below. The battery shown is a slightly more affordable option you can also consider.

Brief Instructions:

  1. Insure bike is off and cooled down
  2. Remove seat
  3. Lift tank up and back, exposing the engine and area beneath it
  4. Battery should be visible, simply remove rubber loop holding it in place
  5. Unfasten screws holding postive and negative clips on battery nodes in place
  6. Swap batteries
  7. Reverse actions and order of instructions from above
