Re: [ST] Battery Charging

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think body panels were mentioned, but I mentioned panniers. If you
have panniers, you have to remove the left pannier to get to the seat
release, unless you've previously relocated according to the instructions
on the ST web site.

An extremely lazy person like myself looks at it like this:

Either you can;

1. Plug in the charger when you park it
2. Remember to unplug it before you go riding

or:

1. Unlock three locks to remove left pannier
2. Remove left pannier and find somewhere to store it where you won't trip
over it or get it scratched.
3. Unlock the seat
4. Remove the seat and find somewhere to store it where you won't trip over
it or get it ripped.
5. Attach the cables to the battery terminals
6. Reverse entire procedure the next time you want to go riding.

Now if you know me, and you've seen my garage, you know that I opt for the
first set of procedures.
