battery box/ tool box

tc.young · July 2nd, 2013, 05:55 AM

finishing up my ninja 250 project, looks like i'm missing the battery box and tool box according to the parts fitch. it looks like there are two screws that hold the battery box in, anyone have closeups of the setup, with it sitting. want to make sure i'm not missing anything.

thanks
tom

looks like the PO did that then and forgot to give me the battery box.

Do you have any vacuum leak / idle issues? The cut off battery box butts up against the air box and holds it onto the tubes to the carburetor.

not sure, haven't ran it long enough to know. i'll probably end up fabing something to hold the battery.

Not really mine is gone and battery has never fallen out and the tubes have never come lose.

Really... Did you use the stock springy tensioner? ...or change to a large hose clamp perhaps? Would be nice if I didn't have to worry about that the next time I put it back together.

Get a battery box, would not want the lead acid battery banging and vibrating constantly against metal pipes. Don't ask me how I know...
Well I really don't know but better safe than sorry.
