I'm excited that it's warm enough to think about riding. It's been around 6 cold weeks here and since then my battery has lost enough juice that it won't turn over my bike. Other than buying a charger... Can I 'jump start' my bike from my car? 12V = 12V, right? I know once it's up and running it will be fine, it just needs a little help to wake up from hibernation. | ||

Dunno about the Buell, but I've jumped bikes with car batteries before. Do it with the car shut off! | ||

I have done it | ||

Brent, no problems jump starting the bike using the car. Watch all that sand on the roads! I'm hoping the rain they are forecasting for later in the week will clean things up around here. | ||

I've jumped my bike before with no problem. Go out and get a trickle charger though so you don't have to do it again. | ||

Better yet get a battery tender. You should have no problems jumping from a car, just don't short out the + side to ground. | ||

Guys, Thanks for the feedback. Went home at lunch and got 'er dun. Worked great. Went for a quick ride and Loren was right on the money about our road conditions. She's safe back in the garage until we get some better streets but she's READY! Thanks for the quick responses! Brent | ||

I agree with Bake, I've jumped my Buell too, but for $30.00 get a Battery Tender Junior and you wont have to worry about it any more. | ||

Pep-Boys sells the Bell (helmet co.) battery tender for 19.95 , works just fine . |
