Woke up this morning and was going for a nice early-morning ride and battery dead. Slow crank followed by the clattering main relay. Fuel system charges, just can't get enough spin out of the starter.
Bump starting is a pssibility, might give that a try but street is level and don't want to get too far from home with a bike that still won't start.
I store my bike in my buddie's garage off-season, and or course that is where my Battery Tender is
So, the question is about jump starting.
I know that if I use my car I need to leave the car off so as not to overload the bike's electrical system.
I also have one of those 'Booster Packs', a Stanley that specs show:
500 amps INSTANT On: 5 seconds, 300 amps Off: 1 Minute.
I don't want to do ANYTHING that might risk damage. The bike is just for recreation.
QUESTION: Is the Booster Pack a safe option?
