[dual-power sv]

hi everyone. ino its abit off topic with it being the tl, but lets be honest it's the sv's older brother. i came to charge the battery today, and could i find the bloody thing, could i buggery.

it's not under any of the seats or fuel tank. i have no idea, so i though i'd try my luck on here. thanks

nope only thing under there is the ecu and ignition modual

Underneath the ECU/Ignition module? That's where it is on the CBR.

I think it's the same as on Dukes. Under one of the front fairings.

[dual-power sv]

no nothing under there

[dual-power sv]

sorry its not under the ecu and the next place i'm going to look is round the fairings but i cant see anywhere to get in for easy acess

[Lissa]

no nothing under there

Are you sure.

This ad is off ebay and it shows a fairing panel for battery access.

found it, couldnt see it to save my life, but what a silly place to put it, right next to the front cylinder on its side, thanks all

That'll be the Duke influence I expect. Most models have them down there. Makes a lot of sense, especially as the panels are quick release. Much easier to jump start as you can get on it quickly.
