Need to jump start your bike

Post by Roy C. »

I was out Saturday with a Guy on a Fireblade thingy who had a duff battery. In his jacket pocket he had a charger pack with jump leads that started his Firey thing 3 times while we were out. So I,ve bought one. It,s a DBPower pak. also will charge your mobile etc. Retails at 80Quid, Amazon are currently doing them at £30 plus £3 pound odd postage. about the size of a larger modern mobile phone but a bit fatter. saw it work so no it,s not all marketting crap.

I carry one on the trail--mine was about 35 quid and holds its charge for weeks as Lithium does. As a test I put an absolutely flat battery on my Tiger 1050 and it started that no bother--so I can trust it to start a little 250---and I just carry the pack and the leads and not all the other stuff that comes with it. It will charge up off the mains or from a cig lighter, so once you have the bike/car running you can prep it for the nest time !

You forgot to mention the battery you carry you jump it off or are you that stupid you think jump leads actually hold electricity.

Agree that the comment was a little unfair--and to be honest ON A POPULATED ROAD a pair of jump leads may just save you--but on the trail there are few cars!--and on most trail bikes getting at the battery is a pain--one bike is bad enough, but a link between two!!--much easier to rip out the little blighter and plug it in :)
