Should be under the seat ... find the two bolts that typically hold the back of the seat down .. remove them to find the battery box.

Alternatively, you could check in your owners manual or if you dont have one ... you might look at the manufacturers web site or www.archive.org.

Lastly, you could stop by the motorcycle shop parts department and mane a friend of the counterman. They know everything ... and are generally willing to talk.
