Changing the battery on my 06 Yamaha R6S?

Question

Does anyone have any diagrams, forum threads, or URLs to directions on how to change my 06 Yamaha R6S battery.

It looks like I might need to remove the fuel tank, because it might not fit. The wiring /fuse box behind the batt and the fuel tank is in front. Can it fit through?

Answer 1

The model number of that bike is YZFR6SV R6S.
Use that entire ID# when ordering parts or asking questions.
Remove the rear seat (key left side of bike) and remove the 2 allen bolts holding the front seat.
Dis-connect the battery terminals.
The battery slides in & out.
Nothing else has to be removed (maybe pull the starter solenoid (fuse box) off its holder.
