I left my lights on while I was talking to a lady friend and when I went to turn my bike on, it will not start. I do not have the owners manual since I bought the bike use and I do not know where the battery is to jump start the bike. I have a sv650s and any help will be appreciated.

its under the seat. Remove the black triangular shaped panels, then the seat and there is a fuse box, the battery is under that. On a curvy at least, I think its the same for a pointy, all you need is a 4/5mm allen key (cant remember which size)

Get someone to give you a push and bump start it.Then take it home and do as above and charge the battery.No time like the present for learning some basic stuff about what sits where on your bike,as you will need to know.

Ive bump started mine as well.Hard by yourself,but not too difficult with a "pusher".Carb models only.I believe the FI ones need some battery to prime the fuel system.

My bike is now safely at my apartment after spending 3 days in a parking lot. This site is a lifesaver. Once again thanks for everything.
