Default FOUND THE PROBLEM ----- QUICK -- HELP PLEASE

2007 FLHX....... went to crank ..... My battery isshot !!!!
Started pulling everything off to get to it... Disconnected rear speakers... removed the Tour-Pak... THEN IT HIT ME.

I have NO IDEA how to remove my driver's backrest -----

What an idiot I feel like asking this question.

I am assuming there is some sort of qucik release that must be pushed or pulled??

Please help.... THANKS

Dont know about your drivers back rest, but you dont have to take the tour pack off. You can use a long screw driver between the passenger back rest and the back of the seat.

Reach your hand down in the hole of the seat. The back rest will have metal rods on right and left side.

Squeeze them together and rock drivers back rest to the left and right it will then pop straight up.

There is a kill switch????

LOL


It has a little juice... lights will come on dim....But not enough to run the fuel pump... it tries.

I am assuming.... when they installed my rear speakers... they left it ontoo long.
OR
worst case scenario there is a problem with the charging system.
I talked to my tech guy... he is going to run a diag. on it.. once I get it charged up and get it to the shop. He said no prob. --- anything will be covered under warranty.

The fact that it was 80 degrees yesterday and I wanted to ride is NOT covered under warranty though.
