i did it! i jump started it off my honda delsol (honda jumps a honda

!)
hook the jumper cable to the + in your bike then to the + in the car (with the car off), then the - cable to the - in the car and then to the - in your bike for 2 secs and then start the bike. unhook the cable in reverse order (- from bike, - from car, + from car then finally + from bike), then take her for a spin

phsycleRR i made those stickers, they're superb, they're reflective vinyl, car lights make it shine and look super cool

nothing much to it really, just some hand in Adobe Illustrator and any printer shop with the right vinyl cutting machine and correct sizes of the honda logo.
if u want to stick anything inside the wheel make sure u stick on opposite sides equally to keep the balance right.

Its fine...go ahead.....though in all cases, as soon as the jumped vehicle is running, I disconnect one of them.

there is so much loss across a set of jumper cables, you won't have 14.3 versus 14.1 conflict....you're lucky to get 13. Electrical systems don't PUSH amps...Amps are drawn based on need...and as mentioned the "need" is driven by the v=i*r relationship.

The rectifier also only works in one direction....its a diode bridge...power from the vehicle giving the jump vehicle doesn't go backwards in that part of the system.

A 12v the battery will only be at 13.2, the charging system is 14.4 nominally....just mental notes for you.

Also, if you lead acid battery sat dead for more than a day or two, its junk...not immediately, but you sure shortened its life. If it sat like that 6 months....junk..probably won;t hold a charge for more than a day, if at all. For a simple explanation, the lead plates soakd up the acid and their ability to hold electrons is greatly diminished.

trickle charge worked for me. charge it for about 2-3 hours and put the battery back in, mne fired right up after this and has been great ever since, DO NOT USE a car to jump it!

Why not push start you sissies

, much easier than unscrewing the seat, finding cables, moving a car, blah blah blah. Run yer bike as fast as you can then hop on, 10 sec.

ashsammy wanna make me a set of those bad boys?? (For $$$ of course.)

u need to push it at least 20kmph while holding the clutch (i could only do 14 !), or if there's a parking lot ramp around u so u can just roll down, and i would worry about loosing balance and dropping the bike!! so i guess it needs practice if you're a noob like me

set of what? u mean the inside rim stickers? if so then i attached a file 4xHonda.txt, save it to disk and change the ext to .pdf, its a set of 4 honda logos sized to fit into the rim, then look up a print shop near you and send them the file (Kinko's, or any shop that has a vynil dye-cut machine), just tell them u need it dye-cut on reflective sheet whatever colour u like (reflective sheet usually comes in 6 colours only). i wouldn't recommend sticking anything into the front rim, it could affect the balancing and cause headshake. the easiest way to stick'em in the rear rim equally is to refer to the position of the spokes.
