Battery Orientation 999

  1. Hi
    My 999 came without a battery and the owners manual shows the positive terminal closest to the floor. (See picture). Is this a mistake. From what I can see of the wiring and batteries on sale the negative is closest to the floor?

  2. The manual must be incorrect.
    Yuasa YT12B-BS has negative on right hand side which would mean negative is closest to the floor.

  3. The manual is definitely wrong.

  4. Thanks for confirming. I wish my bike looked this neat!
     
  5. Thanks, but that image paints it in a good light.
    It was 1/2 way through the rebuild when I first got hold of it:

    Unfortunately I was involved in an accident on it a while after I got it on the road and it's been partly rebuilt again.
