I'm planning on hooking up a power outlet and battery leads to my 2006 tomorrow and I have two questions:
1: In order to access the battery to wire up the fuse block and battery leads I assume that I need to lift the tank, but not the air box. The diagram below leads me to these conclusions. Is this correct? I've never lifted the tank on this bike and I'm curious what I'll be getting into to.
2: This will be the 3rd winter that my Fazer has spent outside. I ride it daily so the battery has treated me well and cranked the bike without a hitch even on a couple 5F mornings. All this without any maintenance charging. Eventually this will catch up to me so I aim to be ready this year. Before I create and connect battery leads in addition to the power outlet wiring, I have to ask: Can a trickle charger be connected directly in to the newly added (cigarette lighter style) power outlet? A few posts on here led me to this conclusion. It never crossed my mind previously. That would simplify things.
