Hi , just thought i'de describe how i done it, that sucka is packed in there well!
At first i thought thers no way that is coming out without rear shock removal , well heres how i done it in under 25 ninuets.
1== Remove side panels
2== Remove seat
3== undo tank mounting bolts/turn off fuel cok/remove fuel pipes/ remove tank from bike (no smoking)
4== undo battery wires black/red
5== remove 2 battery box retaining bolts
6== remove 2 fuel pump bolts ( move fuel pump to one side)
7== lift and turn battery box so wires are facing the floor. and lift out thru hole betweem the top of suspension and air box.
8== fitting oppsosite of removal..
The reason i had to do this was to add a optimizer connection lead so when i leave the parking light on and totally drain the battery i can re chasrge it eassy..
Don't try to bump start these beasts on ya own it makes you look dam stupid in the middle of the street and makes you feel like ya heart is gonna rupture out of ya ribcage...got a feeling that no petrol was getting to carbs as fuel pump not working...
another job sorted... on to the next one,.... the clutch!!! eeek!

Er. What was wrong with bolting it to the remote connection points exposed at the front the moment you take the seat off (which is where I've connected my auxiliary power socket to)? Why go to all that trouble?
Another boring night & I'm feeling pissed....

Sorry to stick me neb in here but can these remote connection points also be used for a battery charger seeing as i've got a flat battery) 
Always wondered what those wires under the seat were for.

You should always disconnect the negative from the frame when charing the battery, else you can damage the charging system.
Positive is OK as it is, as it doesn't make a circuit until the igintion switch is turned on.

Nifty for jump starting a dead battery with jumper wires from a car - just remove the seat.
