I was stranded on my 2018 Road King about 4 weeks ago. It was a very cold day mid 20's if I recall, and I went into a phone store and forgot to switch of the ignition switch! When I came out about 75 minutes later the bike was clicking and making weird noises. It was totally dead. I called a local dealer and asked advice and they told it could be jumped and where the starter stud was. They said if you jump from a car DO NOT leave the car on. I started walking to a parts store to get cables but was able to reach someone that had a portable booster box. They came over and it started right away. one clamp on the stud another clamp on the frame. I put it on a tender when I got home and the battery has been fine ever since. LESSON LEARNED. Happy New Year everybody and thanks for another great vid Doc! I'll have to make one of these just to have in my bag. I was able to reach the starter stud on my bike without any problem.

Yeah, if you jump another car, the way to do it is to hook up the jumper cables, start the donor car and let it run (perhaps revving it to 2000 rpm or so for better charging) for 5 or 10 minutes to help build up the charge in the dead battery. Then TURN OFF the donor car and try to start the car with the dead battery. Otherwise, when the car with the dead battery starts, the sudden voltage spike from its alternator can fry computer components, or at least confuse them into malfunctioning.

I have a Buture jump pack .Good thing about the Buture is it will transfer the power from the Buture to the bike battery .You don't need to jump start , just plug it in to your charge cable ( i put one one my battery for my garage optimate 7 day 24 hour chargerv) And after say 15 / 20 mins just disconnect the Buture and start the bike with nothing connected .it works same in a car except you plug it in the cig lighter socket ( it comes with all the adaptors ) sit in the car for say 15 / 20 mins pull it out of the cig socket and start the car .its a portable jump start come charger .

Hi Doc, great idea. Just one suggestion - your tool touches the starter stud at a single point, and there's a lot of current (100 amps +) flowing through that tiny contact point when you hit the starter button. I would suggest filing a narrow V instead of a circular notch on the end. Now you have two points of contact instead of one, and the narrow V angle increases the contact force. Both features make it less likely to leave a burn mark on the stud. Other than that, an excellent tool to have handy.

I can’t understand why Harley Davidson doesn’t install a jumpstart pigtail like they do the charging tender pigtail. NOCO makes one, easy, safe and cheap. NOCO makes the HD branded chargers and jumper already. The jumper pigtail plugs right into the jump box. It’s just a fact of life your going to have a dead battery on the road at some time with a machine no matter how well you take care of your battery. Having to disassemble half of the bike to jumpstart it is ridiculous and could be impossible requiring a tow truck instead of a jumpstart. I have the NOCO jump pigtail on both my Softails.

Doc that is a very good idea there, might want to make the curve for the stud slightly smaller but if it works go for it. On my Oldwing, well that is what we call it as it is 30 years old, we can access the positive cable relatively easily. Yes I did exactly as you noted, had to jump it to get it going as had a bad case of HUA, Head Up -ss, and it worked fine. Some people cringed but hey it worked. As for the Damn BMW, either you make an emergency pigtail and install it when you change the battery. Yep again HUA, and on the BMW made a short 10 gauge leads off of the battery to a homemade nylon hookup point. I guess I have to much time on my hands and a shop full of toys. You can't jump it but you can charge it at a rather healthy rate if needed. I use this as a place to slow charge the battery. Change the battery out on a Oil Head BMW 01, ONE, Uno time and you will see just how over-engineered and under-thought-out Germans can be, either that or they are still trying to get even with the Allies for those 2 disagreements some years back.

Jumping a Harley with a fully discharged battery will blow your stator and voltage regulator as soon as you remove the jumper cable connection from the running bike. The dead battery will look like a short and cause high current flow which will burn the stator up. The voltage regulator usually overheats as well. The proper way is to let the jump vehicle (or box) charge the bikes battery until the bike will start WITHOUT the jumpers connected. This takes time. Either wait and get the dead battery charged enough so it doesn't overload the charging system or just jump it off and blow your charging system. Your choice. Just remember, if the bike can crank in it's own, it's safe to run.

Also note that if you have a Lithium battery, this battery pack is not recommended. Your answer: Good points Eric. In my opinion, I would rather take the time to jump at the battery....Doc I shared this with alot of people including a motor officer and he said he jumps from the starter stud all the time and everyone else does not know why you consider it so dangerous? Thanks for posting the new video.

Hello Eric, I think the idea of having a live buzz bar (the copper pipe) just held in place by hand pressure and a groove is by far the more risky way to jump start your bike than clamping onto battery terminals but do appreciate that access to the battery on many models is a real pain. I have a 2014 Ultra Limited and the term Limited can be applied to battery access.......... ride safe one and all.

This is a very good ideal, and there is room for a little improvement. Like drilling a hole on the end and put a bolt the for the Jumper Clamp, that would make it a little more secured. I took a trip through the mountain (about 140 miles round trip), here earlier this month. After arriving at my destination, I parked my bike for about an hour. Came back to the bike to get on my way back home, and the bike wouldn't start, because the battery was too low of charge, I know this because I have a charging station on my bike that has two UBS ports and one cigar lighter port plus the voltage meter read-out. The volt meter read 11.7 I was parked on a small hill, so I just drift started the bike, after riding for about 40 miles I knew the bike wasn't charging the battery (volt meter reading was down to 8.6), and I was in the only town around for miles that had a Auto-Parts store. I bought the only Battery they had for my bike, the battery (it was listed for my bike) was short from side to side about 2 inch, but it was fully charged (volt meter read 12.4) and got me home (voltage was 11.2 after riding almost 30 miles). I have a 1993 H-D FLHS after getting home I put my bike battery on charge, over night. Next day it was fully charged, I then found the charging problem, the connector from the stator to the voltage regulator was about half-way disconnected. I fix that and put a rap of tape around the unit to help hold in place. I also took the battery back to the store and got a refund(150 bucks), because it was the wrong size battery for my bike (I also fully charged this battery too). So the moral of this story is you can make it home without a charging system working, you just need a Fully Charged Battery to do so.

I like your Harley jump start tool, it's inexpensive, easy to make and appears to be practical, reasonably safe and effective. I suggest making it a bit longer so it can be used on a greater variety of motorcycles. And as another person has suggested, making the notch at the end that engages the starter battery terminal a slightly smaller radius to facilitate a more secure engagement. Someone also suggested using a permanently attached battery charger connection. BAD ADVICE! Those are ONLY intended to provide a convenient connection for CHARGING the battery ONLY and NOW FOR A JUMP START CONNECTION. Attempting to jump start through those things will cause them to overheat immediately, causing damage and a real risk of fire. As an alternative, connecting the discharged motorcycle battery to another RUNNING vehicle via an installed charger connection will recharge a GOOD motorcycle battery if you're patient, but only if all the bikes electrical loads are TURNED OFF. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE MOTORCYCLE WHILE THE OTHER VEHICLE IS STILL CONNECTED TO THE MOTORCYCLE!
@philschaad6693 Жыл бұрын
Although I had no immediate need for the Harley jump start tool, knowing that it will be handy someday. I made one, but Instead of wrapping the tool with tape for insulation I used heat shrink, two layers for extra security. I cut the upper layer of heat shrink slightly longer so it extends a little bit beyond the ends of the first layer to achieve a little better appearance. I'm sure that tape works fine, but heat shrink won't deteriorate as much after riding around an the bottom of the saddlebag after a few years. I think it gives the tool a more professional look too.
