Battery Access on 2009 RS Venture

[saltr]

I currently remove the airbox to access the battery. Is there an easier method? Thanks-saltr

I would say No. That is the only way to access the battery.

If your looking for. Way to charge or jump the battery, there should be battery cables that are visible without removing the airbox

Yes I see the cable. Just want to do a physical pre-season check of the battery. Thanks.

Not that hard. I did this yesterday and did not even have to take off the oil hose on bottom. Just use a bungie cord to hold up the one side and you can access the battery box.

Would you be able to remove the battery? Thanks!

Yes. I did yesterday. Still need to unseat from carbs but then gently lift out and up you can get enough room and not mess with the oil hoses. Lift from the side of motor with clutches.

Hopefully it works for you. I hooked my a short bungee from corner of airbox to headlight area inside hood
