Why do you have to connect a battery charger cable to the vehicle chassis when charging the vehicles battery while connected on the vehicle...why not connect to both posts instead?

If you disconnect without turning off the charger, the sparks caused may ignite the hydrogen discharged from the battery while charging.

How do you charge the battery of a sportster 883?
Just like the battery on any other vehicle, connect the charger's clips to the battery terminals, red to positive and black to negative. However, because the Sportster has a relatively small battery, if charging at a high amperage (ten amps or more), it's important to monitor charging carefully unless the charger is fully automatic. Don't leave a small battery charging at a constant 10 amps overnight. For peace of mind and foolproof charging, I recommend using a Battery Tender, which you can leave connected to the battery whenever the bike is parked. It cannot overcharge yet keeps the battery at full capacity.
