The two rear corners of the riders seat can be pulled back, you will find two allen head screws, simply remove them and the seat can be removed exposing the battery.

Most Yamaha models have 2 bolts holding the seat on, usually located between the top shock mounts and the side covers. You should be able to find them without too much trouble, but remember- they are metric. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: need to get the battery out

On the left and right hand side of the bike there are two bolts with 5mm Alan key (or Hex key for USA). It can be found toward the rear of the seat in the gap between the seat and the black plastic.(see picture)
They are long bolts so be patient, after they are removed the seat can slide backward to reveal the battery. Hope this helps

The seat comes off with a key but I had to remove the passenger seat first unable to squeeze the main seat (what you need off) out from between tank and rear seat.Coolant resiviour and tool compartment is under there too.Good luck with that.It's the same as the ignition key. JM
