Battery Tender

[smporter420]

To get the panel off to access the battery I have to remove the givi saddle bag assembly. I can get everything off but the riser extensions for the turning signals. I looked up under the rear splash guard and I see to bolts. Not sure if these are the bolts to take out?
Anyone know what I am talking about?

Thanks...

I just had pigtails put on mine just about a week ago at the dealer when I took it in to have some basic servicing done (and the new "oil" panel put on).

I am going to ask how he did it. Surely he would have known not to try the terminals...:yikes: You would think he would know what a hassle that could be.

I'll find out though when I ask...

If he decided to hook to the jumper terminals, and was able to tighten the negative jumper, you should have no problems. It is just a pitfall for an unsuspecting owner that thinks it is the easy way out. It doesn't hurt anything to use them, it is just much more difficult than it looks.

Just finished installing the Givi bags on daughter's boyfriends bike. The two bolts you see are the ones you must remove to get the bracket out. Remember to also disconnect the two wires that make the connection to the turn signals. We discussed the amount of work necessary to just get to the battery. Good luck, take it slow and you should not have any problems.
