Since I plan to use my bike as a job-commuter the whole Winter (here in Stockholm Sweden that means below freezing point), and also generally; I would like to be able to charge the battery myself;

I plan to connect wires to the battery and have them ending under the saddle or similar easy accessable Place, for charging and (hopefully never necessary) jump-starting (i.e. Cable of 10mm2).

Anyone know how "tricky" it is to remove the tank to access the battery? - tricky/sensitive connections for the fuel - hose and level sensor.

You should wish Yamaha had made this kind of "feature" original whith the bike.
You do not need to remove the tank to access the battery connections on the ZA model and connect up a charging port and/or accessories. You only need to remove the tank to remove/replace the battery.
