jump starting 1st gen/batt.?w/car batt.

[mytquin007cox.net]

dumb ? i know but is there any way to jump a bike with a car batt.?

read some where a car batt. will burn fuse or worse.

as long as not over 5 amps it would work right?

maybe a could put resistors in line on jumper cables so as a car(turned off) could jump start bike .not an electrician so how much resistance? or are amps different matter to reduce?

or is only option bike to bike jump?what is best option in emergancey?

is there any jumper packs out there on market that could safely jump bike ?

i have the HOT start problem but it allways started but not last week.allmost considered jumping with a car ( bike cooled off and stated) fianally but volts were way down

bought ODESSY 680 battery and i guess some day install better Batt wires

any advise?

I jump started Bikes a hundred Times with a Car or even a Big Truck Battery. If you ensure the right Polarity and the same Voltage, there nothing which can go wrong

Fabricate a set of Jumper Cables, Useing #12 or #10 Stranded Wire.

 

Find Clips that will fit your Motorcycle battery, and on the other end use Clips from an old Set of Car jumper cables.

 

I have two sets of these, carry one in each bike.

 

Don't take up to much space.

I carry a pair of homemade jumper cables on the bike. I cut the cables off of an old battery charger and put a smaller set of clips on one end to fit the bike. They came in handy a couple times, just asked Yammer Dan. Works greats.
