I (slowly 2-3 minutes?+-) recharge/jump using the Battery Tender Plug.I made special Jumper, Both ends can either be, small Clamps OR Tender 2 prong plugs.

Agreed! May get a gel battery next time.. My one year battery was dying and I found it was low on acid. Fortunately I added distilled water and recharged with a new novo genius and I'm good.
So where can we move it?

OK, so allow me to vent and rant about what I - HATE - about the KLR.............."the placement of the battery/battery box."
I mean, could the battery not have been placed in a more out-of-the-way, inaccessible, tight, difficult place? And, whats with all of the wiring running on top of the battery to make it just that more difficult to remove? Oh, before I forget, you have to remove the side panels and seat just to get near the battery...........
Quick story: The other day I parked next to a Triumph parked with its lights on. A few hours later, when I went to my cage, the Triumph rider was standing there with a dead battery. He asked if i could jump his battery; "sure, I have (standard car) jumper cables." I thought to myself, "this is going to be interesting, how is he going to pull this off?" Quite simple, he attached one clip to a terminal, and with a pocket knife attached to the other clip, he was able to reach the other terminal, and Bingo, his Triumph was running. Nothing to remove, quick, easy access to the battery. Simple, quick, easy............ three words that I would never use relative to the KLR's battery placement.
Now I know that for many of you, my sentiments are sheer blasphemy. To say anything negative about the KLR is heresy. Here I stand, I shall not recant.
