I just baught a used 04 honda shadow and the battery is dead. How do you replace the battery?

thanks

 

Take out the old battery. Replace with a new one.

Before putting in the new one, make sure it has been FULLY charged on a trickle charger.

Most likely your battery is under the seat.

 

I know take out the old one and put in the new one! Thanks for nothing on that one.

I did get a hold of the manual. That SOB is hard to get to. At least is hard to get to the neg turminal on the left side of the bike. I also had to remove the pipes to get to the battery and put it in. Think Honda hit thier had when they deisgned that part of the bike.
