Electronics » Jump starting an r1200rs

Hypothetical,

Batt won't turn the bike over. I get out my micro start XP3 with the jump clamps. Take the cover off, remove the strap, lift batt up and out a little, take the plate off. Now I can see the negative terminal which I could clamp to.

Question, is the battery capable of being pulled out far enough to get the second clamp on the positive terminal? If it's not, how would one be able to jump start the bike? If the batt does come out far enough without unhooking the negative came, I'm all set.

Surely someone has had to do this at some point or knows that the batt can or can't be pulled out far enough to get that positive clamp on the positive terminal.

Thanks

Is there a good grounding point down near the starter motor?

Why can you just not connect straight to the negative terminal of the battery, and then to the positive extension "point", (to the right of the battery as you look at it), which is there for that very purpose. You shouldn't have to remove the battery at all, unless you're changing it !!

That's what I do.

When I remove the right side cover I can access the negative post.
Remove the red cap to access the positive extension post.

Must be “asking for a friend”

Definitely a case of RTFM

You have misinterpreted my post. You asked "what is RTFM". It means "Read The Fucking Manual ".

Oh, and there's me thinking it was polite advice of rtfm "reading the factory manual" would give you the answer, maybe, maybe not?

Thumbs up for F type
Thumbs down for factory?

You still don't get it do you. You asked what does RTFM mean. I replied with the meaning. I was not suggesting you hadn't read the manual.

I get it, thanks. Just replying to what that means. 10-4 sir
