Can anyone help?????

Hi all

I have an odd one, but hope someone can cross reference with their ride.

I had to replace battery and noticed that the battery has a plastic chassis base that it sits on. this base is held in place by bolts that obviously attach to the frame.

My question relates to the fact that I have only two bolts holding mine on. One in the middle of the plastic base and one to the side of the plastic base underneath the airbox/coolant return hose.

I have noticed a spare hole at the side towards the front of the base also underneath the airbox/coolant overflow hose.

Am I supposed to have three bolts holding the base in place or just the two? I wondered if someone could check on their ride for me please to see if the front hole on theirs is filled with a bolt or not.? If I should have three I will order another bolt.

Cheers

Ice

If you're talking about the battery box then yes, there should be 3 bolts holding it

One in the center, 2 on the LEFT hand side, connects the box to the ECU box.

Many thanks

I have ordered another bolt and washer for the missing one.

Cheers
