Battery Tender installation on F3
Newbie Question. Tomorrow, I'm going to install the Battery Tender plug on to the battery. If I unplug the battery, install to the post and plug the battery back up. Is there anything else needed to do? I don't want the nanny to go all crazy on me or the F3. Will it be okay? Thank you.

I don’t remember if I actually "unpluged" it. I think I slipped the battery tender connections on top so I did not completely disengage the battery. I also just fed the battery tender out the back of the frunk and zip tied the connector to the frame. I also use one of these so I can get power to my phone or GPS. I feed the usb cable up through the steering wheel to power the devices. I disconnect when I want to charge the spyder battery using the battery tender. So I use the battery tender cable for a dual purpose. It is fast and cheap solution

Battery Tender
Are there screws that attach to the battery connection to the post? I hope my cord is long enough to go to the handlebars. The service department said the cord wouldn't be long enough, but I think it is.

the USB converter is just that. You can attach a phone usb charging cable to the other end of the converter. My phone charger cable was just long enough but I think you can purchase longer ones.

There are screws and I unplugged the whole battery to do that.... I recently installed Lamont's power outlet for the f3 directly to the battery and now use that for the tender... Like it better and I can charge my phones with it as well.

No issue with disconnecting the battery. You will have to reset the clock.
I placed mine in the frunk. Originally installed it next to the left shock but decided to move it inside the frunk.
