new batterie and Boost emergency starter

[pekingduck]

Bad batteries had suddenly left me stranded on my 2013 CB1100, and later on the Bonnie. I was able to bump start the CB1100 down a slightly sloped street, but was not so lucky with the Bonnie. My BMW-riding buddy bailed me out with his jumper.

So I bought a similar jumper battery setup, but I have to keep it in my Aerostich jacket as I don't know what I'll be riding. It makes a heavy jacket even heavier, but the piece of mind is worth it.

Have you tried to get the jumper clamps on your batterie posts ? There is very little room for them , only small ones might fit but make certain that they can take the amps.

Houtman, that's a good point. My V-Strom and Bonnie have their batteries up to the seat level. So I checked the CB1100 and there seems to be enough room. The cables are larger than the battery, which is like 2 phones stacked.
