Saw a new R1150RT was being prep'd for delivery. Left side tupperware and the seat was off. The battery had an auxiliary positive terminal in the center of the battery and about an inch and half down from the top. This lug is used to jump start/ charge the battery. To access it all you have to do is pull the front seat.
