[QUOTE="moto-rama, post: 1272067, member: 88128"] Maybe this is a well-discussed topic, and of course it's likely that someone has already suggested this method to remove the battery from the FJR with a minimum of swearing. My OEM died yesterday, so I picked up a new Shorai battery and set to replacing the dead one. After I had removed the body panel, and disconnected the power cables, it was obvious that grabbing it with my bare hands wasn't the ideal method. So I looped 12" plastic cable ties through the terminals and secured them. This created 2 secure "handles" on either side of the battery. I then was able to withdraw the battery without any drama at all. Ok, time to go for a ride. Note: The Shorai makes the bike feel just a little lighter. [/QUOTE]
