How to change the battery on a Honda Rebel?

Remove right cover (just below the seat) by removing the single screw on the lower right of the cover and popping it off. Disconnect the negative (on the left) terminal first, then the positive with a Phillips screwdriver. Watch for the loose little nuts held within the battery terminals if your replacement battery doesn't have them. Remove the rubber battery strap - probably easiest by unstrapping from the left. Install replacement by doing these instructions backwards. Remember to connect positive terminal first.
