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.
