Re: Battery access
3 bolts either side of the entire seat unit. Remove the pillion seat also and unplug the tail light wiring before lifing the seat unit off. Done.yazza54 wrote:Sorry I'm a total newbie how do I get the seat off?

Re: Battery access
My seat panels have missing lugs, so I just got a bit of velcro for it, quick release seat ftw
was good when the old battery died and I had to charge it over night.

Re: Battery access
Did it last night cheers guys. Ordered an eBay special Haynes manual. Someone over the years had remove the lock so I had to put my finger through the hole to work the latch. Done away with it all and just fitted a small pull cord to the rear latch instead
