battery tender

[richie]

I went to hook up a battery tender,easy job right?:dontknow: so I attach the pos+ wire no problem, the neg- post looked easy,out in the open,trying to loosen it came up a little then the bolt kept turning as if it were stripped and it won't thghten down again.My guess is it's stripped.Now what? Did any one else have a problem?:banghead:

its not stripped - theres a nut behind it. I believe you will have to pull panels off to get to it and tighten it back up. Go straight to the battery with the tender leads -not the visable bolts. It taks longer buts its easier

You have been victimized by the BRP designers who thought that they would make jumping your battery easier with remote terminals, but make it harder to install a pigtail for a charger.

take the back left panel off and connect directly to the battery itself instead of the "remote" terminals under the seat
