PlasticxxHead Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Problem:Dead Battery Possible solutions?? Solution: Jump from another bike with both (+) and (-) leads connected Jump from a battery tender plugged into the wall. Jump from a car battery with only (+) connected.. Can someone chime in with the proper procedure.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB4XX Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Charge it so you dont burn up your R/R or stator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpokaneXX Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 FWIW... Last weekend I was in the middle of BFWashington with a buddy who's alternator took a hike...new battery no charge and no start. We borrowed a pair of jumper cables from the local diner/gas station and a friendly couple from Montana let us use their 3/4T Chevy as a charging station... We had some 45 miles to go to meet up with the rest of the group and the crash truck...while I wouldn't charge the 'Bird off a running cage(by choice) ..we let his ZedX10 charge for close to thirty minutes then made a high speed dash for the crash truck... We made it and I have my second best ever canyon straffing memory as a reminder. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I once jumped a bike from a car using a lamp cord. It worked fine. I was 500 miles from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I made a set of jumper cables for the bike, I keep them under the seat. Not thick enough gauge wire to jump cars, etc but work great on bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
