Hi -

A friend asked for assistance in removing the battery from his harley (obv he's not mechanically inclined...)

I'm comfortable assisting it as I do a few things on my sportsbike but I hate surprises so did some research:

1. Instructions here and here seem straightforward. I have a torx head screwdriver so I'm good to go, right?

2. Alarm system - according to this post, apparently you have to have the fob and ignition in "on" position (to deactivate the alarm). Can I just disconnect the battery after that or do I really have to remove the maxi fuse?

3. Is the re-installation the opposite of #2 and #1? Or should I really spend the effort to remove the maxi-fuse? If so, it is easy to find and easy to remove? (quick google didn't tell me where this is located, although for an older model it was in the left-front - or does anyone know for sure?)

Thanks for any advice on this.
