Yes, seat comes up but you don't need to connect to the battery terminals themselves, although that is the easiest. I detest extra wires hanging off the battery terminals, especially since I pull my battery for winter storage. There's the main fuse just under the back of the tank (seat has to come up and the rear tank bracket might have to be lifted) and if you pull back on the rubber cover on the connector going into the main fuse you'll find an empty spot in the connector that will allow a 1/4" female spade to be inserted. This is after the 30A main fuse so the jack would technically be fused for protection although you'd probably want smaller (10A?) fuse for your needs which comes inline with the new jack I believe. You can ground to 1 of the 4 tank bracket bolts and run the jack under the easily removable tail seat for access. Also you shouldn't need a battery tender if it's going to sit for only a few weeks, if the battery dies that fast you need a new battery!
