Just sold my KTM 1090 Adventure R and replaced it with a new 2020 R 1250 RS Sport. Looking for lots of answers but I thought I'd start by sharing one - in the form of a short video on how to put the pesky battery plate back on after removal.

Welcome to the forum!
A half hour saying "what the Hell?" with a few other expletives sounds about right. Thanks for the video.
You probably know this, but you can charge the battery in-situ by using the terminal under the red plastic cap and the negative terminal.

Nice to see a new member contribute with a positive piece of knowledge on a first post, nice one!

Nice heads up video, thanks

welcome! helpful video as I start planning out my winter projects, including adding some power distribution. Thank You!

A great video supplement to an oddly confusing page in the owner's manual. Thanks!

The cover isn’t an issue, getting the stupid battery in and out is the real challenge.

I have put 1250 in the subject title, as I did not think this safety feature was on the 1200

I have never had the cover off the battery compartment on my 1250. The video in this thread shows something I did not expect or rather it does not show something I did expect: I have read posts speaking of a slab of styrene or similar below the battery which can be removed if replacing the battery and a physically larger battery used as a replacement. Looks like that option is not available on the 1250. Does that mean that the 1250 already has a physically larger and, one presumes, more powerful battery than the 1200?

The lost grommet.

The front of the side-panel mounting points has a rubber grommet that's easy to push out and lose. Almost lost mine the first time. You can avoid this by attaching it with a small cable tie done up loosely, or something similar.
