Going to install a lithium battery later and having a brain freeze,i know you have to wait a couple of minutes after turning off the ignition before removing the battery,but i am pretty sure its negative off first when removing the battery,could someone please confirm,would quite like to fit some upgraded leads at the same time,guess you know who needs to pull there finger out.
As Chris says neg first of and last on, reason is if you do positive first you can easily catch the spanner on the frame shorting things out.
