Why not jump a bigger battery off your car onto the terminals? You'd have big energy reserves to crank it & see if that makes any difference..

Not a good idea, thebattery, starter motor, wiring andcablesare not designed for the amps put out by an auto batt, even if the auto is not running. If used, you should only run the starter in short(1-2 sec) bursts to avoid frying things. Don't ask me whyI know.

Honest!!
I've jump started my Monkey bike with a car battery before. All you're doing is supplying a greater reserve of power.

Oh yeh, forgot to mention............. If you have a 12VDC coffee pot, always make sure (with the Dyna) that you only make 1 pot, before trying to start the bike............. the second pot will always kill the battery!![sm=headbang.gif][sm=laughingsmilie.gif]
Skip,
Thanks, but I have decided if I don't need a tachometer, I sure as hell don't need a high beam........ Had the fking thing on when I got hit........... Lotta good that did me. Sure wish I knew how many rpms I was turning when he ran over me

How old is your battery?? If it's a couple of years, trash it and get a new one. $75 is good insurance against being left stranded. I worked with remote instrumentation systems on solar charge panels. Even the "best" are only good for about 1000 charge cycles, i.e. 3 years. Some are better, others are worse, but that's just how it is. I've always made the practice of the first starter drag during cold weather is get a new battery.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
