First you have to locate the battery on the motorcycle. Mine is under the seat so I have to take the seat off to get to it. Use a screwdriver to loosen the terminal bolts and remove the wires. Pull the battery out of the battery casing and replace it with the new battery. Be sure to connect the negative and positive wires to the correct terminals. Replace the seat or battery cover and you are all set to ride. I am a girl and have been taking care of my own bike for 15 years. See you on the road.

How do you charge a motorcycle battery with a car battery?

You must get a couple of so-called jumper cables. The cables have strong clamps on them and are designed to be clamped to the battery terminals. Attach the black cable to the negative terminals of the motorcycle and car battery first. Then attach the red or positive cable to the positive terminals of the motorcycle and the car battery. In case your motorcycle battery is empty, you can now start the bike from the car battery. Disconnect the cables in reverse order, beginning with the red cable. The motorcycle battery will not be charged much by the car battery but the bike can be jump started by using this method.


Where is the battery in a motorcycle?

Many motorcycle batteries are on the side of the cycle directly under the seat. They're often covered by a removable plate that either snaps off or screws off. The battery is sometimes located directly under the seat itself, and the seat must be removed for access. Locations change by make and model so check your owner's manual or poke around a bit if you can't find your battery.
