Battery Problem
 
Hello folks. I JUST joined this forum.. And Im sorry if this question has been asked a million times before.

Today I pulled my '02 SV-650 out of Storage only to find that the battery did not have enough power to start the bike (Few cranks then nothing). Now, Ive got a jumpbox and everything... But do you need to pull the front seat off (Allen bolts and all) to recharge the battery? Is there a quick trick? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

WELCOME :p

Yes you have to pull the seat off to get access to the battery...it takes all of 3 minutes.

Theres a search feature up the top of the page, its handy to find answers to questions you think might be common!
Enjoy the forum.

take the 2 black side panels off, then you can get to the allen bolts to remove the seat, not sure what size (i think the side pannels are 4mm & seat about 6mm? but you dont really need to know the size just use one that fits?

It's 4mm for the side pannels and 6mm for the seat! As for charging I have a cig lighter socket under the pillion seat which I plug my charger into to save removing the riders seat! I also use this for plugging my air pump into to blow up tyres and also my air bed when I go to bike rallies. Optimate also have attachments very simular that you can do this.
