For all the new FJR guys ( like myself) -- the battery is in the same place as Ducatis -- uo under the right side fairing. What a place!!
This bike is not so easy to work on.

You'll learn to have a good radio, CD or MP3 player in your garage and not start a project until it's turned onto a good song and you're ready to remove lots of &*%^#! plastic.For all the new FJR guys ( like myself) -- the battery is in the same place as Ducatis -- uo under the right side fairing.

You know, I've had the bike over two years now and never had to remove the battery. Even when I removed headlight assembly once I didn't even touch it. Seems easy to me with just a bit of practice of removing two or sometimes four panels and rarely having to remove the lower fairing pieces.This bike is not so easy to work on.
I had the same problem at first, spent 1/2 a day installing a powerlet and connections for the radar and GPS, the wiring was easy, the plastic was a PITA.For all the new FJR guys ( like myself) -- the battery is in the same place as Ducatis -- uo under the right side fairing.

Steve, Sounds like a good project for you. Detail the dissassembly, take lots of pictures, I'll host the page on FJR-Tips (with all proper credit, of course).Just went to fjrtech.com to see how to remove the panels, but those pics are for a pre-06. My 06 has a different setup.
I'm hoping you mean the plastic? If not, send the pictures to ODOT first. :lol:Doah! Why's it always me who seems to get suckered into these things?! :huh:
I'll see what I can do, but for right now I'm a bit gunshy about taking it off again.
Having had both an 04' and an 06', I've got to tell you that the 06' is a walk in the park compared to earlier modelsHi,

Yes it is !!! The panel at the glove box is a piece of cake now compared to Gen 1 !! There's a ton of room under there if you don't have the AE model ! :yahoo: There's nothing under it.Having had both an 04' and an 06', I've got to tell you that the 06' is a walk in the park compared to earlier modelsHi,
