Panel Removal and Corbin

[MichaelG]

Well....I.....never disconnect my battery for anything...unless I am working on...the battery. In the first 18,500 miles on this bike, the battery terminals never came loose...at all. I think Scotrod and I are brothers, because we think too much alike

If you are a person that "needs" to disconnect your bikes' battery so that you can do an engine oil change...then you need cycle therapy.

If you have hands that are small enough to fit up inside the area where the cooling fans on these bikes are...then you are too small a person to be riding this big of a bike

Oh, and Terri, you will always be on the popular list with me.

Believe me, I've been on the shitlist of many after my years of being a Marine and later a Safetynazi.

Miles my input was mostly from being a car mechanic.You do not want to be screwing around with a motor with a electric fan and it comes on.If you work on your motorcycle you
probably work on your car/truck like I do.I never disconnect my motorcycle battery for a oil change.But screwing around near the electric fan on a car/truck with the battery still
connected good luck with that. I need my fingers to count all my money

I stand corrected on the fact that removing the panel has nothing to do with an oil change. Couldn't tell you exactly what I was thinking when I made that comment.:banghead
And I really don't care that the seat has to be removed on a number of other bikes to access the battery. The point is, Corbin should have told us the seat needs to be removed for side access!

[Scotrod]

Would that have changed you mind regarding purchasing the seat? Remove seat to access battery = no deal?

[MSGT-R]

The point is, Corbin should have told us the seat needs to be removed for side access!

Maybe Corbin didn't know. They are in the business of creating seats. Seats that fit the bike without gaps nor play that cause complaints, based upon the original seat pan coverage. They, in their rush to deadline, probably did not realize that their precision tollarance was a little too close.
