BATTERY CABLES
Routing
1. Install battery.
Connect the cables to the correct battery terminals. Failure
to do so could result in damage to the motorcycle electrical
system. (00215a)
2. Route positive cable from battery positive terminal through
upper front hole in battery tray. Continue to route positive
battery cable to starter post on right side of chassis.
Be sure rubber boot covers starter solenoid terminal
connected to positive (+) battery cable. An uncovered
terminal can short and cause sparks, which could result
in a battery explosion and death or serious injury. (00463c)
Do not over-tighten bolts on battery terminals. Use
recommended torque values. Over-tightening battery ter-
minal bolts could result in damage to battery terminals.
(00216a)
Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable
should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected,
the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00068a)
3. Install positive cable to starter post with nut. Orient terminal
so cable faces away (towards left side of motorcycle).
a. Tighten nut to 65-85 in-lbs (7.3-9.6 Nm).
b. Cover nut with protective rubber boot.
4. See Figure 8-18. Route negative battery cable toward left
side of motorcycle and then down to transmission ground
stud.
5. Install negative battery cable on transmission ground stud.
Tighten to 13-20 ft-lbs (17.6-27.1 Nm).
1. Negative battery cable
2. Groove
3. Positive battery cable
