Hi all, new to biking, so please don't laugh. I can't find my battery on my Honda CB500s. It doesn't look like it's under the seat, is it behind a side panel? In which case, which one?

No under seat

Take junk out of under seat storage
Bolt at the top at front panel pulls back into storage area

Battery is a tight fit!

Hey don't fret it, I couldn't find the battery on my Trophy. I had to actually get the manual out of it's shrink wrap and read it. Distinct lack of man points Laughing
