Battery/ fuses

Post by rollingthunderx2 »

I recently fitted a bigger battery and unfortunately the negatine screw wasnt into the stupid square nut.
So the bike cut out ..luckily 100m from my house.
Unfortunately I dropped it as it cut out then restarted on the very rough track to my housr..as it was neg camber I couldnt pick it up.
When we did I couldnt get the battery out to charge it.
The higher battery was hitting the fuse box. And was a very tight fit in the battery holder.
Eventually I put cable ties through the terminals and pulled it out.
Reinstalled with a bid cable tie around it.

My question is..can you remove the fuse box?
It serms to be clipped into the undertray?9

Yes it unclips. There's a tab at the top. Push to the front & it lifts out.

I put a fabric strap around the battery leave it in place use it to pull the battery out.
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
