How to change the battery of the Yamaha TDM 850

Model: Yamaha Tdm 850 3vd
Part: Battery

Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to change the battery of a Yamaha TDM 850 3VD: the battery is located right under the fuel tank, so all the fairings need to be removed by taking out the four screws that hold the fairings, both on the left and right sides.

Remember that there are two on the top for each fairing.

We also need to remove the front part of the fairing, which we can do after taking off the side fairing: remember that it is secured by a central bolt under the windshield. The battery is located under the tank; the YouTuber shows us how he found a way to lift it without completely removing it, a truly brilliant idea, but not feasible for everyone due to logistical reasons.

Here’s finally the battery; let's disconnect the negative terminal, then the positive one, and pull it out. Let's replace it with the new one, reconnect the terminals, and then put the tank, the front fairing, and finally the side fairings back in place, and our work is done.
