VS 1400 Battery Box

I don't get the battery problem, maybe because i dont have lowered shocks.
All i do is unscrew the black plastic cover. Take it off to one side. Unscrew the terminals (i have side ones). Unscrew one of the bottom swing doors bolt. Unscrew second one while holding the bottom so it wont open under the weight of battery. Open the swing door, the battery drops and i just take it out with little rotation opposite the way the swing door opens (i think its towards the front) and thats it. 5min tops. No lifts no digging holes.

Some of the taller batteries don't fit as well. If you have one that fits correctly you should make sure to get a new one that is the same size.

I enlarged the battery box so I could put in a battery large enough to get the damn thing to start in cold weather. it is longer, wider and taller than the original and the bike starts fine down to below freezing.

I still have no major problem getting the battery out of the bike. Oh, and I have top mount terminals, again, no major problem.

Get a Norco Lithium Battery which is awesome. You do not have to ever remove it again until it is shot. The battery also shuts itself down if you leave lights on in 15 minutes you never have to be without starting power. Now Norco is the one to get as it has this feature and it works like a dam.

It also cranks over bike allot better and fires it up. I am loving it for sure very happy with the purchase.

How do you reset the "off" feature when you do return after 15 or more minutes?
