Battery removal.

[srspyder]

Hello all, I guess I should've looked into this sooner, but can anyone describe where and how to remove the battery for storage? I cant seem to find my owners manual, and not sure if its in there.

Battery Location

Here is a picture of the battery location. I did not notice how it was held in place but should be simple to remove. You must remove the panels on the left side as well as remove the screws from the inner rear tire panel on the left side. Note when you remove the rear side panel you must disconnect the turn signal wires.

On all of my bikes with gelled or sealed (no maintenance) batteries, I never remove them. I just put them on the charger (Battery Tender or Accumate) for the duration. The lead-acid batteries with filler caps come inside, and are charged monthly.

once you get the panels off the battery is held in by a rubber strap

:agree: This is one of the many benefits of SLA batteries.

No sleep for my Spyder

It's good to live in California, can ride most days in the year. Don't even consider packing it away for winter........
