DRZ 400 Battery Wiring

DRZ 400 Battery Wiring

The DRZ 400 is a motocross bike that is as comfortable on the street as it is on the track. Japanese manufacturer Suzuki built the bike with a 400-cubic-centimeter engine. It is no longer in production, haven given way to a newer model with a 450-cc engine displacement. Like most modern motorcycles, the battery is wired using two terminals, one positive and one negative. It is best operated with a maintenance-free 12-volt motorcycle battery that requires no acid pack for activation and no assembly after purchase.

Instructions

    1

    Remove the screw that secures a cover panel on the rear-left side of the DRZ 400, just in front of the rear wheel. Pull the cover panel off to reveal the battery compartment.

    2

    Slide a battery into the compartment with the terminals facing up and out.

    3

    Slip the rectangular nut into the positive terminal, which is indicated by a "+" sign. Hold the positive (red) battery cable on top of the terminal and drop the battery screw through the cable and into the nut. Tighten the screw by turning clockwise with a screwdriver until the screw and cable are secure against the terminal.

    4

    Repeat Step 4 for the negative (black) battery cable on the DRZ 400.

    5

    Place the rubber terminal covers over the battery and the battery protector on top of the terminal covers. Press the decorative cover plate over the battery compartment and replace the screw by turning clockwise with a screwdriver until the cover is snug against the frame of the bike.
