Can some one tell me what i have to do to remove my battery on my 2004 suzuki intruder 800
Hi ...... Find where the battery is, under the seat or behind a side panel. Disconnect the black (negative lead usually with a 10mm spanner then disconect the red (positive) lead. The battery will be held in place with a 'rubber' strap or a bracket and depending on type of battery there may be a vent hose from the battery to the lower half of the bike, this just pulls off and remains in place until you replace the battery. Installation is reverse except you connect red (positive) first.
Let us know how you get on.
Ok I will trfy that, but before I do I don't recall asking you why can't I remove the socket from either port, I have tried sizes from 15mm to 18mm and can't seem to get a socket size on there to remove them. Do you know what size I'm supposed to use or is a special tool, I even tried a 5/8 and still can't get them off
ok i have done that what next?

SOURCE: battery removel for a 2004 suzuki 800 intruder
I know for the models till 2002 where the battery is located in front of the rear wheel.
Place the bike on her side stand
remove the negative battery lead at the left side, just below the transmission tube ( cone ) 10mm socket wrench
On the right side remove the security cap on the positive lead ( cross screwdriver ), then remove the positive lead.
The battery is hold in place with a 'floor plate'. remove both bolts of the floorplate ( on each side ) while holding the palte into place.
gently lower the plate and the battery.
I hope the 2004 model has the same assembly!

I removed the seat and I can't see the battery. Where would it be?
UNDER THE BIKE IN A METAL COMPARTMENT... there are two screws that hold a small metal "gate" closed and very little room ro negotiate its removed... as the design of the bike is weird in this regards, it is easy to accidentally ground the battery during removal or installing the new battery and it's almost impossible to get at the connections.
good luck..you'll need the fingers of a jewelry specialist...
