Battery Removal

[The Doctor 46]

Hi all and Happy New Year. Easy question but I'm not sure of the answer. "If I remove the battery from my 2012 650 V-Strom, do I have to mess/reset anything other than the clock when I put it back on?"

Thank you in advance for your knowlage.

No,  just the clock

Thank you Kwackboy, battery is going to be removed now.

I'll put my fingers in my ears just in case...

Just remember the golden rule when working on batteries, NEGATIVE off FIRST,and back on LAST= no accidental shorts to earth with your spanner.

Snap a pix of the battery terminal orientation. It makes it easier to reference on install a few months later.

I made the mistake of connecting the negative first on my Laverda, 30 amp hour across my watch strap, through the spanner, and shorted to the frame. 😳 got hot real quick and welded the watch strap closed so I couldn’t get it off, had to rush inside and run it under the tap to cool down!
Won’t do that again☹️
That was nearly 40 years ago, still have the watch and it still works 😁
