On my 05ZX10R you have to slightly raise the rear of the tank, no more the 3 inches so as to not bend the front tank mount, rotate the bracket blocking the battery slightly, then pull out the battery. Helps to have an assistant. I suspect the process might be similiar on your bike.

anyone else have any input?

its basically what he said, the seat comes off, and then it should just come out, i got the manual for the zx6r and it says the same thing, just remove seat, then remove battery.

Check on the sides of the case that battery sits in to make sure not some type of clip holding the battery into place.
