2001 Kawasaki W650/EJ650 Battery Installation

I'm not a mechanic or expert, just a rider who can do basic maintenance.
You can access battery terminals from overhead by removing the fusebox and lifting the two plastic access doors. I use pliers to grip the tabs and gently pull them forward and up to release.

Boy, that’s a lot easier than how the factory service manual shows. It has you removing the rear fender and the whole air box.

wow my friend has one of these and just uses the kick start because he says the battery is a pain to get too. I never anticipated so complicated

[@Richard_L_Y]

Except if the battery is duff, it will let you down, kickstart or not.

I was tole to disconnect negative first and connect it last , always

Nice, thank you for this. I got an idea for the next video! Spark plugs installation? 😅

[@mebeasensei]

Mine is a 2004 and the side is reversed.
