For easier starting, a cable upgrade is proven to be of very significant benefit. The originals are 10 gauge .025 ohms.
The upgraded cables are 6 gauge fine strand and more flexible than original cables. The resistances is almost 1/3 of originals at .010 ohms.
The original electric battery is shown in the shop manual with the terminals facing the rear of the bike. I have found difficulty fitting the heavy ground cable in this configuration. A longer 06-5911 ground (red) 25.5" cable (Order 06-5909/10/11L). If you mount the terminals forward then order the short ground cable (22.5") cable (Order 06-5909/10/11S).
Highly Recommend Heavy-Duty Starter 06-4791/B
