2017 Honda Rebel - Battery Removal and Installation 

Thank you for this, really helped me out. A little thing I picked up though. That red tail light clip, you could just use your finger for the bottom tab and the whole red connector just slides off that tray.

This was really useful when removing my wife’s battery from her Rebel for the first time, thank you!

nice supplement to the user manual. thanks. Note: I had to remove the negative terminal connection first because there is a "clip" that's part of the battery cover under the negative terminal; cover won't come off without the negative terminal removed first.

Thanks for this, I'm about to install a USB charger and this helped me figure out how to get access to the battery terminals.

Thanks for the video. The actually removal and replacement section is pretty good. A few nits. Getting it all wet before exposing electrical connections is problematic. Using a sharp blade around the electrical or anywhere in there is asking for trouble. The little pins that are pushed to remove the cover, must be pressed gently and only enough to release the fitting. Pressing harder can cause the pin to go all the way through and drop down into the frame for a real waste of time. Never pressure wash a motorcycle. That forces water and debris into places that they should not be in and can cause lots of problems. The wiring harness wrap on this bike does not effectively cover the wire entry into the back of the connectors. Pressure washing can increase the potential for corrosion in them. In decades of riding, i have not pressure washed or even hose washed any of my motorcycles. I have, on rare occasions hosed mud off of the tires and under fenders being careful to not spray anything else. The best cleaning is with limited Fantastic spray and a rag for tough gunk. Never use 409 as it will decay rubber and vinyl. I clean everything except the seat, tires, discs and foot-pegs with lemon pledge sprayed on a rag and not on the bike. It works on every material to clean and waterproof even windshields, helmets and shields. Keep the Pledge over-spray off the floor as it is slippery. Pledge will not discolor, burn off and resists gasoline and oil. The advantage to this type of cleaning is the ability to also closely inspect every portion of the motorcycle at the same time.

Really.good advice.and I​ little Surprise about​your​ batterry frome​Thailand.​ Thank​you💙🇹🇭

Thank you for your video, really useful! Greetings from the Czech Republic!

Very helpful, saved me some anguish!

Thanks for the video, helped alot, for some reason it took me a while to get that red cable out:) also I had to open it 2 more times and in last one i rushed and broke that small plastic bolt. Now I know what you mean by " dont rush you dont want to break any plastic :) " The only other thing is, its kinda tricky when the battery comes with 2 washers that we have to manually place it and make it tight so it doesnt fall of while installing battery or putting screws on. Thanks again!

Great videos! I've been riding my 2017 Honda rebel for a few months now. Couple video ideas that would be helpful: how to remove and clean brakes, widening and narrowing neutral zone (adjusting gear shifter/cables), and changing spark plugs. Appreciate your channel!

love these videos on the new Rebel - getting mine soon so really helpful. Can i ask what kind of paint job you did - love the mat colour!

very helpful ! thanks for this video, love from Thailand.👍👍

Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video...I needed to jump my bike & couldn't remember how to get to the battery...lol

Thanks very useful.

Thank you for making this video very helpful 👍

Thanks for the vid. Went out to my bike recently and it wouldn’t start. Popped the seat and it looks like someone stole my data link connector holder. The 4 pin and harness are fine though. Could this be the cause of it not starting?

Sir, at 1:39 , the red one you remove, underneath that there is a clip, we just use fingernail to flip that clip up then we pull whole red one off black cap anyway, thanks for your clips, i did to follow your steps, and find out a easy way.

Thank you bro

So... I found out the hard way he bent the cover where it goes over the negative terminal. This design is so bad I put a battery tender quick release on this bike and it's near impossible to get that cover back on.. I just have it sitting there in place not clipped in

Can you do a video on installing a buddy seat and pegs? I think you can get them for Free if you mention their name?

Hey Bud, forgot to ask what kind of battery comes in the Honda rebel

I let my Honda rebel sit for awhile before I rode it again. I would say like two weeks, the bike starts up but when I disengage the clutch it dies, and when I press the starter it turns over a couple times before it starts. Now if I ride it for awhile the bike will start to run normally and wont die. But I have to ride it for like an hour to get to that point. Does that sound like a bad battery?

So i pulled the bettery out and i have a black and red wire ahowing like i ripped it off of something.

What kind of battery does a Honda Rebel 500 take?

hey - i cant help but wonder why a 2017 btry needs changing !!??

Can you send me a link to that battery?

Who the hell disliked this? Why?

Why do all these DIY, weekend mechanics wear gloves? Afraid of a little dirt? (On a power-washed bike?)

credo che non comprerò questa moto

Really useful thanks
