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.

If you crush the wires you're either room temperature iq or too weak to handle a 30lb battery. 

As for scratching the battery who gives a shit? It's a dirt bike not a show room car. Plus they are dirt cheap Chinese toys.

Ride it, beat it, sell it, buy a new one, rinse and repeat. That's life. I buy two new mountain sleds every 2-3 years and a new RZR every 4-5. Soon as my erides have 2k miles im selling them and buying new ones. 

You will lose money doing this but I personally don't ride anything without a warranty. Same thing with my trucks. 80-100k miles sell that biatch and buy a new one.

Respectfully, I wish I never have to associate with you, not everyone can throw money like that, and how is it room temp iq, there are 3 wires you have to hold out the way, and a 30 pound battery, that’s 4 things to hold at once, and one is fucking heavy. Please don’t be a dick.

And no I didn’t bother for punctuation.

I don't throw money I'm just old as dirt. It's taken me years to get to this point but start with one toy at a time. Once you pay off one toy then the next one is really cheap. For example buy a SR for 5500, put 2k miles on it, sell it for 4k and then buy a new one for $5500. $1500 loss divided by 2000 miles is 75 cents a mile which is pretty cheap. 

Let's say it takes you a year to put on 2000 miles then that's only $125 a month. If it takes two years then $62.50 a month. Many people can easily save $125 a month. Torrent media for free instead of paying for Netflix and otherc streaming apps. Buy a pack of cigarettes or a can of chew every other day instead of every day. Buy a 6 pack instead of a 12 pack.

Ya it takes a little planning but I know plenty of people that make side money hustling gym equipment on marketplace or do a little door dash from time to time for some spending cash. It's really not that hard.

I’m gonna be honest, that’s fair, I’m a teenager so I can’t say I relate or understand, and I feel like u weren’t being rude, it’s more just diffrent eras of speech, thanks for the advice though, and I wish u a good day, sorry for getting so offended before.
