Re: How Do I Jump My Battery

The battery has two terminals with bolts. Undo the red (+) bolt, & add the red/+ lead to the bolt, & fasten it up (nice & snug, but not enough force to shear the bolt.) Repeat this on the other black (-) terminal, with the other lead. Hey presto - job done.

By the way - if it's the original battery, it'll have metric bolts, like ALL the bolts on the bike.
