Title: Battery charging without removing side panel
Post by: SteveD CB500K0 on April 11, 2020, 11:45:48 AM

Lazy I know but Menno’s exquisite sidepanel will not come off with the normal amount of force.  Probably down to the new rubbers.

I can’t reach the positive terminal to charge the battery.

Where else could I connect it that’s accessible in a crowded garage.

Can you get the other panel off?

Try one of the leads on the starter solenoid

Anything on the right hand side as the bike is up against the wall.
