Freeps are by in large much more intelligent than Harley “Forums”!

not famliar with that bike but usually a long bolt or two through both sides of the frame is holding the starter in place.

My Kabota and Deere questions get great responses at their forums.
Wouldnt even consider asking those ?’s at a political forum.
Just me.

I dont know. I have a BMW motorcycle and it has become just a big computer thing. I don’t have the balls to wreck the warranty.

disconnect positive cable from battery, remove primary cover, remove starter pinion gear, remove 2 mounting bolts. I think that should about do it.

Haven’t had a bike for a number of years. Do they still come with kick starters?

Make sure it’s plugged in.

Just tie a string from the gearbox to a politician’s mouth and you’ll never need fuel.

Tight fit huh?
If memory serves, I always used a couple of flat pry bars on opposite asides and gently raise the battery up high enough to grab it with your fingers. This one worked well for me in the past. The key word is GENTLY. enough pressure to lift the battery, but not enough to damage it.
Treat it like a lady, not a rented mule.
Another option is grip the cable bolts with two sets of vice grips and lift it out.
IMO, the second is not the optimum since you there is slight chance of terminally damaging the terminal.

I have a 1993 FXR, and i have to take the seat off to get to the battery.
Pain in the neck, but I love “Ol’ Blue” just the same. :-)
