or do i need to remove it and charge it off the bike?

 

You can charge it while it's in the bike.

 

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH YOU CAN CHARGE YOUR BATTERY WHILE ITS CONNECTED TO YOUR BIKE

 

if you have small enough cables...

My booster cables never fit in the small area of my seat.

 

YEAH THE CABLES FIT ON MY F4I WHEN THE BATTERY WAS STILL INTACT

 

battery tender ftw!!! i have the tender cable attached all the time and all it takes to plug it in is take the cap off the connector which is underneath the plastics on the back left side and connect and plug into the wall made storage over the winter simple

 

i second the battery tender...
i took my battery out since i was working on the bike though, i tripped over it once while it was in the bike on the tender and figured it was not a smart idea
lol

 

yea it'll fit. try not to jump it if you're gonna charge it. and if you do, with a car, make sure the car is off.

 

yes you can, you can also turn off the caps lock when you type!

 

re: the battery tender

You can also use the alligator clips (is that what they're called?) to grab onto the terminal to charge the battery.

 

battery tender i have the plug connecedt to mine also... all i have to do is take off the rear seat and plug it right up
