Default 25 FXLRS battery

How the heck do you access the battery to install a battery tender cable?

On a 2025, it should already have a battery tender cable installed. Check your owner's manual, should be under the side cover where the fuses are.

Look again, it’s there. It will be under the right side cover. It’s referenced on pg 159 of your owner’s manual.

Thanks
I was looking for an actual tender cable hanging somewhere.
As soon as it warms up a bit I'll charge it and myself with a ride.

I think the dealerships used to pull them out when they did the initial setup. Obviously they don’t do that anymore. I just left mine out from under the side cover after I pulled it out. I can’t remember if I had to secure it with a zip tie or not.
