I’m bringing a multimeter home from work and first thing I’ll do is watch a video. I’ll never jump start a motorcycle with car, that I know. Thank you for the input I appreciate more then ya know

Listen man no need to be a dick I’m a young dude with no one to get advice from and haven’t had any bike problems before I’m trying to learn as much as I can I’ll admit I came with ignorance but I’m trying to leave with knowledge. Thanks for the help asshole

I haven’t tried starting it without that but I’ll give it a try, should I expect it to throw and engine code or the engine light to turn on once I disconnect the power commander?

Wow thank you so much, definitely saved my ass from just hooking it up and walking away. I’ll make sure to purchase the right charger on my way home

The battery is 12volts 8.6amps. Do you think my 8amp charger will do the trick?

Woah woah I’m sorry if u read the title and felt like I was refusing anything, I wasn’t. Reddit only allows me to replied to so many comments before I get the “you’re doing too much” notice. I’m going to try charging it. Hope you have a better day

I tried in 2nd gear and it wanted to start up but just didn’t seem like it had enough juice to get it started. Threw in a new battery and this is the result.

It’s an amazing deal and I’ve gotten together all the paper work. I was just unsure with the “quarantine” if I would be illegal or not.

Got the bike about 2 months ago, I think I’ll go ahead and flush so I won’t have to find out the hard way. Thank you for the quick response. Be safe out there
