Installing the Battery on a Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883

Model: Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883
Part: Battery

Video tutorial

The first step when installing the battery is to connect the positive terminal: insert the battery eyelet into the screw, and if the screw is too long for the battery purchased, add washers (see video). Repeat the same process for the negative terminal.

Tighten both screws well. At this point, you can check that the bike's lights turn on, indicating that the battery is functioning.

Place the battery in its position. Secure the motorcycle's battery charger connector, for example, in the fuse box: this way, it will be easily accessible if needed.
