Hello,
I just wanted to add one thing. Notice in the photo the positive terminal boot is not fully covering the terminal. That is how mine came from the dealer. If any tool or screw or anything falls down in that area it can make contact with that positive terminal and the frame and cause a short circuit or fire.
On my Spyder I cut off the positive terminal ring from the battery tender harness. Slid the wire down from the top of the terminal boot. Installed a new ring connector and fastened it to the positive terminal. Then the positive terminal boot can be pushed back down over the terminal and completely cover it.
I know this sounds like nit picking, but if something like above was to happen, BRP would most likely deny any claim due to a fire. Plus the boot helps keep the connection clean. BRP put that boot on there for a reason, safety.
