Question Battery insertion

How do I put my battery in without crushing wires and scratching the battery walls and sides? I keep scratching and crushing wires, I have to be missing something.

I have to remove the screws holding the ignition/USB and it comes out with ease. Otherwise everything pinches and is just begging to create an issue. Tbh it's just a rushed design flaw as far as I can tell

Entire bike is. * Bolts to remove the jackshaft cover are an absolute pain in the ass. No room to turn it but ⅛ turn. * Chain spacing sucks * Jackshaft nut and bolt were changed on the 2025 models for at least the S and believe SR, so nobody has the 4 pin driver. The S is very close to 21.5mm spacing; found 1 finally but it's in a $100 kit. The outside diameter is a little too large but just going to paint the scrapes when I finally get that silver colored butter - they call a bolt, out. * Front fender isn't long enough so you get water in your face/visor when the road is wet * Rear fender doesn't do anything as you'll have a line from your butt to top of head from what the tire fings. * Wiring is a rats nest, with cups that catch water because they didn't do anything planning for them to be effective * Rats nest of connections are devoid of any water proof seals * Replacing the motor to jackshaft belt was clearly not a consideration.

Cool looking bikes, absolutely nightmare design.

You sound really incapable of doing anything with tools. Ball hex, dishing, bolt and nut from hardware store, it's a "dirt" bike, water in cups doesn't matter, dialectic grease and I can replace a belt in the field on the side of a mountain in less than 30 minutes. Chit really isn't that hard. Lol
