Picked bike up yesterday and started to fit satnav today before I set off to work. As stated earlier I know next to nothing about electrics so satnav to be fitted direct to battery.
What a pain in the ass! Never know anything like it with the battery. Disconnected the terminals but on re connection the captive nut on the live terminal would slip due to battery being on an angle. I couldn't get any long nose pliers in to hold the nut due to the design of the live lead connection wrapping around the terminal. Finally got it reconnected after a bit of swearing.
2 hours later and bike still in bits in the garage and I need to leave for work. I will complete the 30 minute job tomorrow
