What's up everyone! This is my first post, and i have what you might think is a stupid question. just got my 01 Gixxer 600 this summer and it has an alarm on it, since it's been cold i havent started it in like a week, i think the alarm drained the battery cus i had to push start it. i didnt get a manual and am fairly new to bikes and stuntin, if i need to replace the battery or charge it i have to get to it and i am not sure where to get to it from, i think its from under the seat but i don't know how to get it off, any help would be and thanks for the help in advance.

 

Pull the sides of the seat up. there should be a bolt on both sides of the seat that attach it to the subframe.

 

Thanks for the help, ill try it when i get home from work, is there anything i can do to keep the alarm from draining the battery?

 

disconnet it....Alarms are **** on bikes (no offense) just park it and leave it in first gear. Most people will not know whats wrong when try to start it (if they dare to try) do it with mine all the time. Its when people leave it in neutral that ****s them up.

 

very simple advice disconnect the alarm and pretend u have one and make beep beep noises when u get closer and when u leave the bike

 

I've been thinkin about that but it was on there when i got the bike

 

When I leave mine like that, I put it in 6th gear, cuz even if they could get it started, they'll have no idea how to get it moving(I don't have a key, just a flip switch since the bastard started shorting my whole electrical system out ). Or just pull the fuse on the starter relay(which is easily done on mine, since it takes only my key to get the driver seat off).

For Gixxer600, you might also need to see if your battery is shot anyways. The bike being an 01 could mean the battery needs replaced anyways. Get it charged, and see if it'll hold(make sure to disconnect the alarm also to prove this). Good Luck

 

ride it for and hour or two that will charge your battery right up
