Edit.....
Im mad cuz i wrote all this shit up thinking you had a 08 zx10R...
I kept wondering why the replyer said remove the center piece....then i started to remember how i had to remove it on my 04... I then said.. he said 08 right???
took a look around then saw in the signature he had a 05.
Now i feel like I wasted my time....
sigh..
this is what i wrote...

to take off the front seat you dont have to touch the passenger seat or center plastic at all...
only 4 bolts...
look at the plastic piece on the side of the gas tank.. un do that bolt (just 1 on each side), it have velcro in the middle and the tail end pushed into rubber.
once thats off you can see the bolt that holds the front seat down (just 1 on each side)..
BAM!!! front seat off and battery right their....
This is a zx6, but the idea is to start on that bolt...once the pannel is removed the seat bolts are accessable...
