GV250: Removing the Battery:

Since I've done it a couple of times recently, I thought I would put together this quick HowTo.

Remove the seat. You don't necessarily have to but I find it makes it easier.



Using a #3 Phillips head screw driver, loosen the screw holding the chrome piece below the plastic panel in place.

Note: Do not remove the screw, just loosen.



Pull the plastic side panel towards you until the tab comes loose from the slot. There will be resistance because of the tab slot that holds it in place.

Note: do not pull to far towards you as you may damage the tongue below (see Appendix A for visual reference)



Using a 10MM socket wrench or a #3 Phillips head screwdriver (I recommend the 10MM socket wrench) remove the two bolts holding the bracket battery.



Gently pull the battery out and, using a 10MM socket wrench or a #3 Phillips head screwdriver (I recommend the 10MM socket wrench), remove the two terminal bolts.

Note: For the positive terminal, you will need to pull the rubber boot back. It should slide back along the cable.



Tuck the loose terminal cables back in the now empty battery slot and replace the plastic side panel and seat.

Thats it, your done.

Appendix A:
There is a tongue on the plastic side panel that slides into a slot in the chrome below it. Do not put the tongue behind the slot, it must go inside the slot.

I am brand new to this forum and will admit a novice with
a new (used) GV250, however..I needed to change the battery out
and the posting from Bill complete with pictures made my experience
into the interior of MY bike so easy.  I just wanted to say I appreciate it so very much.  I didn't want to be "that" newbie that calls the shop to get them to change out the battery. I'm sure I will call them enough for other things.  Just thank you.

Welcome to ACD magstan!

You're very welcome. If I helped one other rider, then it was all worth it. There's lots of info here for the GV250, and we're always glad to help so don't be afraid to ask questions.

I had to replace the battery on my 2008 hyosung gv250 but to be honest, when I removed the old battery, I didnt look at the connections. The old battery had been out of the bike for some time while i was getting and charging the new one. I want to put the new one in the bike, but I want to make sure that I get the connections right. Can you help me out? I see that there is a negative cable and another black cable with a little ring on the end. Same goes for the positive. I just dont know exactly how I should connect these to the battery. I tried looking at the pictures you posted, but I couldnt see the details of the connections. If you could help me out I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Welcome to ACD stateradio!

The read lead and the smaller red lead go to the positive post, the smaller black lead and the larger black lead go to the negative.

Hi Boss.  First post and it's gonna be a FNG question.

The how-to you give makes it sound like the battery just slides in and out, no problem

I own a 2002 GV250 with a Yuasa YTX9-BS battery in it and every time I move it, it's like pulling teeth.  There's some metal bit over the top that interferes with it moving.  In the pics you posted, in the top picture, it is the grey/silver piece with the... fins?  (If you go straight up from the H in Hyosung on the silver side-piece and straight right from the white Hyosung logo on the tool kit.) 

Anyway, is there some trick to it?  I'm afraid I'm damaging the plastic top near the positive post every time I jam it in there.

I appreciate you taking the time.

Welcome to ACD Petruchio71!

If your battery is larger than the standard, I'm not sure what to tell you. I don't have the GV anymore so I can't even look at a battery compartment. Is there any way to temporarily remove the silver part to get the battery out? Can you take a picture or two to show us how it's interfering?

I assume you refer to the regulator/rectifier. If the battery is a little taller than standard then you might be fouling at the red arrow position. you might be able to pack the regulator up a little by inserting 2 washers at the blue arrow position and get more clearance.
