Hi!

It's a bit of a fiddle but once you've done it a couple of times you'll be ok.

· You'll need two Allen keys and a Phillips screw driver. All should be available in your bike kit.

1. On one side, unscrew the bolt about 8 inches below the seat that seats on a sort of plastic triangular cover with mini air vents. Once unscrew it should open up towards the back as it hinged.

2. You'll be able to see now another bolt that is actually bolting the seat down. Unscrew that one with the other Allen key.

3. Repeat the operation on the other side.

4. The seat should come off now and you are left with a cover with wires covering the battery. Remove that plastic cover by hand; no need for tools. You should be able to see the battery now in all its glory.

· Before you disconnect the terminals make sure that your new battery is ready, that the (square) nuts fit underneath the terminals and stay in place as you try to bolt it in.

5. Disconnect the old battery (can never remember which one should be done first) take it out and quickly fit in the new one (otherwise the alarm gets triggered off and it is quite annoying).

6. Tighten down the crews onto the terminals of the new battery. Make sure that there is nothing loose.

7. Try starting your bike to make sure everything works.

8. Repeat steps 4, 2, 1, being careful not to thread the bolts.

9. Dispose of the old battery responsibly.

Ride safely
