Bbrrrrrooooo, I had mine connected Wrong for a week now and I was having troubles😢😢😢 the bike was in storage for 2 years so I thought that was whyyyyy. I'm an idiot! Thank you! I hope this fixes the starting problem!!

Do I connect or disconnect positive or negative first?

[@RodRidesWrenches]

Always Negative FIRST to disconnect and last to reconnect if you can. What you want to avoid is grounding the positive terminal against the frame with your wrench or screwdriver. If the negative is connected to the battery that is a possibility.

[@lollipopjuggs]

Should the NEG be connected to grounded metal and not battery?

[@RodRidesWrenches]

No the charger is low amperage so you wont to minimize resistance.

[@lollipopjuggs]

@@RodRidesWrenches That's what I was thinking but when I looked it up in the owners guide it says to do it that way. Maybe its just for cars?

[@sanderpena]

@@lollipopjuggs can be ground or straight to negative is the same.

Not sure what you mean Peter, are you referring to your own bike?

[@202WinkProductions]

I’m still not understanding. It looks the same 😅 . Please do a step by step video showing everything

[@jaypeezy439]

The motorcycle’s battery terminal lead needs to be on the bottom and the battery tender cable lead needs to be on top, closest to the screw that keeps them in place.
