im one of those lads that removed electric start. so all u wanna do is remove battery, all u do is unscrew the frame which holds battery and then the wires are screwed onto the battery, undo them and there u go 8)

Dirt Bikez & Pocket B described the battery removal process pretty well, but just one extra thing - when removing the battery remove the short red wire completely too, and tape up the black wire so that no water gets to it. when removing the electric starter disconnect the black wire from the starter motor first, then undo the bolts on the left side of the motor to open the casing up, remove the two black rubber tensioners that are along the chains path, then remove the two bolts that hold in the starter motor, slowly pull the starter motor out and lever off the small black chain at the same time. once you have the chain, the starter motor and the tensioners off, close up the left side of the engine again. either cut off or put the remaining black wire that connected to the starter motor with the other wires and tape it up so its waterproof. now you're set :wink:
