There are many companies out there which sell jumper cables for motorcycles. These cables generally have smaller clamps to make it easier to get into the tight spaces on a motorcycle. These can be had for about $15 and easily fit into your saddlebag. See your favorite dealer or accessories catalog.
It is possible to jump start your motorcycle from a car.
The procedure to jump start a motorcycle from a car is the same as it is for jump starting it from another motorcycle except for item (6). A car battery has more amperage, and the charging system for a car is much more powerful than that of a motorcycle. When jump starting a motorcycle from a car, DO NOT START THE CAR’S MOTOR because the extra power from the charging system will possibly destroy the motorcycle’s charging system and could cause a fire. The car battery should have enough power to start the motorcycle without the car’s motor running.
Some times it may be easier to compression start the motorcycle, also known as a bump start or push start. It’s possible to compression start a motorcycle by yourself, but it’s easier if you have a couple of friends to help you if you’re on flat ground.
The bike may not start on the first try, so repeat if needed. Also, a motorcycle with a completely dead battery may not start using the compression method.
