Overview

A two-part video covering an unexpected battery failure on an LS MT573, ECM parasitic drain diagnosed and resolved under warranty, followed by a step-by-step buddy seat installation. The installation portion is genuinely hands-on, walking through shifter replacement (the kit's stock shifter is too long for the 573), spring reinstallation, and seatbelt mounting without removing the tire. Most useful to MT573 owners tackling either issue themselves.

An owner-operator channel sharing real-world maintenance and repair experiences on equipment they personally own and use.
