1)  How to change the battery on the xEvo??


2) When filling up fuel allways leaks out the bottom of the tank (but not at any other time) any idea what could be causing this and how much it would cost to repair?

1. Ignition off, keys out, disconnect battery terminals -ve first, unclip fixing strap and remove.
Fit new battery exactly like old one, connect +ve terminal first, refit retaining strap.

2. Don't fill it to the brim, it isn't a fault or a leak, its when the warm engine heat transfers to the fuel tank, expansion takes place and the excess fuel is expelled through the overflow pipe. All X9's do it too, mainly in summer and only with a fully warmed up engine.
