After 7 years of faithful service, my battery needs replacement. What kind of indication should I
expect after replacement, any error codes etc, ??

Changing out the battery is a fairly straightforward task, if a bit fiddly; so if you do it properly & don't trigger anything odd or cause any other issues by doing something else that wasn't a part of that task, then if you actually get to notice anything at all, it's most likely gonna be a faster spinning starter & a faster starting bike! hyea:

Most who change just the battery get absofreakinlutely nothing else besides that faster start! :thumbup:

Follow the instructions in your operator's guide about connecting the positive cable first to the new battery.

I just swapped mine out.

+ 1 on the Negative Terminal is first to remove and last to refit.
Neg 1st and last.

I guess its worth mentioning its a good opportunity to give the terminals a bit of attention and ensuring they are clean and bright. Dont drop the bolt ( I did) it will disappear to the most awkward resting position available.

Hi Bro ..... if you haven't started using STAR washers on your Battery terminals , now is a good time to begin ..... then they will NEVER loosen by themselves .....Mike :thumbup:
