Jump starting my trike

[dlpuette]

This could be a valuable thread. I keep my bikes on a tender if I’m out of pocket for a while or during the winter. But every so often I would have liked the option of a jump starting the bike to get a low battery to fire it up. Taking the seat and CPU pack off to directly connect is a suck ass option.

so how would you connect the Earth Ex cable interface to a car battery?

(apologize if I’m being dense here)

The jump pack I have seen, have clamps that just go on like jumper cables.for the car. The Earth Ex cable, hooks to the bike battery & then the jump pack I am getting has that blue plug that would hook to the jump pack to start the bike. I just received mine ^ dont have it installed yet as the jump pack is not here yet.

You mentioned a car battery - did you mean the bike battery?

All you have to do is connect the leads to the battery, tighten the nuts down. Once connected, just plug the other end into your jump starter and start the bike.

Now if you are talking about a car battery, there really is not a need for the earthlink. Just connect the cables from the jump starter directly to the battery (or the positive connector under the hood)

Got my jump pak finally. Now for a somewhat warm day,so I can install the "earthlink" to battery & bring it out behind the right side panel. Jumper came in a nice carry case & several connectors for a cell phone also. Got a good deal on ebay.

A "side of the road" option to get around taking the seat off is to connect the positive to the starter motor (that goes straight to the positive terminal on the battery) and the negative goes just wherever makes sense.

Glad it arrived - looks nice. Here might be a suggestion. Instead of bringing it by the panel, just bring it up in the seat (the cutout for the back rest.

Seems to work well for me.

Sounds good,will look at it when I get some warmer weather. Supposed to have some Sun & Mon

No problem with it falling back down under the seat ??

None at all. At first, I thought I would zip tie it to the backrest - but, never needed to do that. I actually push mine back down so it is not visible. The seat separation these gives you plenty of space to push it down and pull it up.

My garage is on one side of the house and the power box is on the other side. From my back shelter, I have a cable that runs into the system, start the generator and flip the switches.

Generator will power everything except the central air. My Generac is about 13 years old and runs on gasoline. Cost me about $800 back then. About $400 to have it connected with transfer switch. Thought that was much better than the $10,000 they wanted for the auto connect unit.

Worried that my old unit would fail, I purchased another one that is 10K - dual fuel, gasoline and propane. That new on is in the garage because the old Generac is still running strong. I start them once a month for about 10 minutes - did that yesterday

It will probably hit you before it hits me here in Michigan. Hope to see you on the road some day

2 in the UP is an absolute beautiful ride. When you head that way, you are passing right by me. On the way up, when you you usually lay over
