    I have a piaggio x9. Its been sitting for ages. I just want to get the battery out to charge it. I have looked through the manual. I have looked online. I cannot find any help in how to get at the battery to take it out.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

    Cheers man but I have the owners manual. I even checked this online version a couple days ago to see if it had any different information.
    Zip.

    At a bit of a loss now. I have pretty much removed every screw I can see from the outside on the fairing, under the seat etc.

    Still nothing.

    Says here it's under a fuse/solenoid box behind the saddle. Or is it accessed from under the rear mud guard? Section 4 item 38

    I havent tried to get at it from under the back mudguard. That might work, but they are not making it easy. There isnt much clearance there for working, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Cheers.

    ..sorry couldn't open that link. I have an Aprilia Atlantic 500, which is the same engine and basic layout.....

    .........mine is under the seat, and, at the back of the 'luggage' space, there's a panel you remove to get at the battery.....it's unlikely to be fitted from underneath....ymmv and all that.

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Where are you based and maybe I can drop in and show you if it's nearby, otherwise open up the seat and remove the screws from between the rear grab handles you should be then able to access and remove the rear panel and then can remove the battery. Two things to remember: the battery is accessed via under the seat compartment and the rear panel, which covers the battery, slides upwards on tabs for removal.
