Exposed Battery

[Natoravar]

After i bought the bike i noticed the battery is exposed to everything underneath the bike . I run the 2-1 full termi system. I removed the seat and noticed the battery is completely lose, no casing or even a band holding it. Now the question i have is there anything i can install to hold the battery and something to protect it?
Thanks in advance.

there is a heavy foam block attached to the seat that helps hold the battery in place.

There is a bracket to hold the battery down, take it to your dealer and they will install it for free as I believe this was an early recall.

Thanks everyone. I went for a ride today, and i experienced almost everything the recall explains, didnt crash but had more than one oh shit moments. Went directly to the dealer and they installed the bracket in 5 min. What was happening was that the movement and vibration of the bike and the battery wire being stiff made the screw become loose, it was very scary to control the bike in the middle of a turn and the engine dying
