Jump Starting
Jump starting a motorcycle is typically not recommended. However, there may be circumstances
when it is necessary to do so. If a jump start is necessary, use the following procedure.
Be sure jumper cables touch only appropriate battery
terminals or ground. Allowing jumper cables to touch each
other can result in sparks and a battery explosion, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00072a)
Explosive hydrogen gas, which escapes during charging,
could cause death or serious injury. Charge battery in a
well ventilated area. Keep open flames, electrical sparks
and smoking materials away from battery at all times.
KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN. (00065a)
Be sure both vehicles have the same battery voltage when
jump starting. Connecting vehicles with different system
voltages can result in vehicle damage. (00220c)
NOTES:
This procedure presumes the BOOSTER battery is in another vehicle. DO NOT jump start
from a running booster vehicle. The high output charging systems on some vehicles can
damage the electrical components on the motorcycle.
Make sure the motorcycle and the BOOSTER vehicle are not touching one another.
1. Turn off all unnecessary lamps and accessories.
Positive Cable
2. See Jump Start Cable Connections. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the
DISCHARGED battery positive (+) terminal (1).
3. Connect the other end of the same cable to the BOOSTER battery positive (+) terminal (2).
Negative Cable
Do not connect negative ( ) cable to or near the discharged
battery negative ( ) terminal. Doing so could cause a spark
and explosion, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00073a)
4. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the BOOSTER battery negative ( ) terminal (3).
Do not connect the negative ( ) cable to painted or chrome
parts. Doing so could result in discoloration at the
attachment point. (00221a)
