Disconnection and Removal

1.	Remove seat.
2.	See Figure 1. If present, move purge solenoid (1) forward to release from top caddy. Release HFSM antenna (2) from top caddy and move out of the way.
3.	Remove fasteners (4).
4.	Cut cable ties (3) and move harnesses to allow more clearance for the top caddy.
5.	See Figure 2. Release top caddy from front hold-down and rotate top caddy (1) out of the way.
	WARNING Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00049a)
6.	Remove battery negative cable (black) from battery negative (-) terminal.
7.	Remove battery positive cable (red) from battery positive (+) terminal.
8.	Grasp lifting strap (2) and pull up to raise battery. When battery is extracted far enough to get a good grip, grasp battery and remove the rest of the way.

Installation and Connection

NOTICE

Connect the cables to the correct battery terminals. Failure to do so could result in damage to the motorcycle electrical system. (00215a)

WARNING

Do not allow positive (+) battery cable to contact ground with negative (-) cable connected. Resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00069a)

1.	Run lifting strap rearward, first down the center of the battery tray, then up and across the frame crossmember.
2.	Place the battery into the battery tray, terminal side forward.
	WARNING Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00068a) NOTICE Do not over-tighten bolts on battery terminals. Use recommended torque values. Over-tightening battery terminal bolts could result in damage to battery terminals. (00216a)
3.	Connect battery positive cable (red) to battery positive (+) terminal. Tighten bolt to 6.8–7.9 N·m (60–70 in-lbs).
4.	Connect battery negative cable (black) to battery negative (-) terminal. Tighten bolt to 6.8–7.9 N·m (60–70 in-lbs).
	NOTICE Keep battery clean and lightly coat terminals with petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. Failure to do so could result in damage to battery terminals. (00217a)
5.	Apply a light coat of petroleum jelly or ELECTRICAL CONTACT LUBRICANT, Part No. 99861-02 (1 oz tube), to both battery terminals.
6.	See Figure 2. Fold lifting strap (2) forward over top of battery.
7.	See Figure 1. Rotate top caddy into position above battery and engage latch on hold-down bracket.
8.	If equipped, engage HFSM antenna (2) and purge solenoid (1) on top caddy. Verify all other connectors and harnesses are routed below the purge solenoid mounting tongue.
9.	Fasten top caddy to frame crossmember. Tighten screws (4) to 8.1–10.9 N·m (72–96 in-lbs).
10.	Secure harnesses to frame with cable ties (3).
11.	Install seat.
