Batter change out

[dochull]

Anyone know how to remove the saddlebag and mounts, so I can change out the battery on a 2009 can am spyder with can am saddlebags. I bought it used and have now idea how to remove the mount at the light or what I need to do.

The saddlebags themselves, if they are the BRP Givi version, are readily removable. The brackets are too, using the special triangular- head wrench that comes with them. If you did not get the wrench, you will probably have to fabricate something similar. The brackets are another story. You will have some dismanting to do. It would be best to have the original installation instructions to follow (in reverse). Contact a dealer, or perhaps someone here has a copy they can send you. If you have aftermarket bags, you may have to figure it out for yourself.

battery removal

with the can am / givi bags

remove the bags set them aside then remove the mounting brackets like said before with the tri sided t tool that it comes with if none available a large flat screwdriver might work

then remove the rear splash panel 7 screws set it aside

remove the screws and plastic rivits from the side panel reach up between the side panel and the opening made by the splash pan removal

find the bracket for the blinker arm unplug the wires at the connectors there are 2 of them then there is 2 nuts and bolts holding this in place remove these (pain in the rear )

at this point you can take the side panel off with light assembly to get to the battery

ensure you tighten the battery bolts tight then re assemble in reverse

hope this helps

Thank you very much. What a pain just to change out a battery. Was hoping for an easier fix. Should have known better. Thank you again.

Thanks to those who helped me. My battery is in and things are great again. What a pain just to install a battery. All is well that ends well. Didn't know I could hold my breath that long.
