Replacing Battery Cables

[Haych]

Hi,

I've got a 1999 GSX Limited 951, I need to replace the battery cables because they are really rusted.

If you grab one of the cables and twist it, you can feel the terminals cracking inside.

What is the easiest way to do it?

I cant seem to find out where the terminals lead to, I just hope I don't have to remove the engine, that would be a s*** go!

Just follow the cables and unhook them. Replace them with the same same length of cable as the original. It's really not a hard job to do.

Problem is that, I can't see where the cables lead to.. It seems to go behind the engine, my arm just doesn't fit behind there to get anything loose!

The cables go to the mpem box. Just wiggle the cable and follow them.

The positive does, but not the negative, looks like it goes behind the engine.

Can I just disconnect it and wire it up to somewhere else on the block?

Usually the ground cable goes to the starter area. You could mount it anywhere that it will get a good clean connection to the engine.
