Okay, I am staring at the electrical components (left side) and the battery behind them and I cannot figure out how to remove the battery. I see it, it's right there, but after removing the two bolts holding the component plate to the frame, I see no way to slide/wedge/grunt the battery out. I don't see how removing the airbox would help so...how stupid am I? What am I missing? Jeers and barbs welcome. Thanks.

How can I be in two places at once when i'm not anywhere at all?
Can I double park in a parallel universe? -
Yes, remove the air filter box and tada, there it is.
have you a factory service manual yet?1978 Gs1085 compliments of Popy Yosh, Bandit 1200 wheels and front end, VM33 Smoothbores, Yosh exhaust, braced frame, ported polished head
1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017
I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things. -

I tried already; He likes to read printed manuals and apparently doesn't have a printer. Go figure................Originally posted by cowboyup3371 View PostComment

You're quickly going to find out that Suzuki built these bikes starting with the battery, and assembled everything else around it. Worst access ever!
