    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

82 GS450 Battery access

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it... I want to attach a tender to my battery (and/or replace the battery- not sure how old it is). But, for the life of me, I can't access the positive terminal. I'd be happy to be able to slide the battery out, but I can't figure it out.
I feel like there's a trick I'm overlooking. (Battery access shouldn't really be this difficult, right?)

Edit - Just realized this is showing as my first post. It isn't, but I haven't posted in 6 months, and my account was locked-out.
 
It has been quite a while since I have had to do anything on a 450, but I seem to remember that it is easier to remove the battery if you remove its lead from the starter solenoid, then slide the cable out with the battery.

But, while you are playing with the cable at the solenoid, why not just connect your tender lead there? :-k
Electrically, it's the same point.

Ahh... that should work. It didn't occur to me (hence, this thread).
Thanks!
 
Yup, that's the place to do it! My battery charger has a connection running from that point as well as the clock power for my Acewell gauge. Makes it a hell of a lot easier than going to battery +.
