MZ125sx battery removal

[67kev]

Hi, i need to remove the battery from a 2002 mz125sx, and thought at first that i may not have to remove any bodywork. This, however, seems not to be the case, unless i force the battery from behind the side panel, and risk damage..(It's not my bike). With this in mind, i had a look at removing the seat and/ or bodywork, but cannot seem to find all the fasteners required to achive this. Also, i can't see a logical sequence of removal i.e. seat then bodywork or vice-versa? Any help appreciated, and if anyone knows of a downloadable manual for the 125sx, please let me know. Many thanks, 67kev.

It's easy...
1. Remove seat - undo the retaining bolt (flat screwdriver) underside of seat, above back wheel.
Slide seat back, towards rear lights. Lift off.

2. Remove left side plastics - (4mm hex) Bolts on side x2, bolts hidden under seat x2
Unclip panel from rear plastics.

3. Undo first bolt from rear plastic panel (4mm hex). This will give you enough space to get to battery.

4. Take off the rubberband from front of battery and disconnect breathier tube.

5. Remove battery wires: Negative first, postive second.

That's it. Have fun!

the seat is latched at the rear with a pull cable to release it
if cable is broke PM me and i will send picture of how to get it
off the hard way
the plastic side panel comes loose from a rubber grommet at it rear end
and is hard to do if its not had a tad of grease
placed in it in the past
