How to Jump Start a BMW 1100LT
Bayerische Motoren Werke, the company that makes BMW cars, also manufactures motorcycles. The BMW 1100 LT cycle is similar to a car, in that both vehicles use a battery to power their engines. However, in the case of a motorcycle, motorcycle pros like those at the website Cycle Maintenance recommend extreme diligence when jump-starting the bike if the battery goes dead, because if you do it improperly you can fry the bike and its electrical system.
Instructions
- 1
Put your cycle close to the front portion of your automobile. Do not allow either your cycle or car to touch. Take out each set of keys and power off both your car and motorcycle.
2Open your automobile hood and take out your motorcycle seat so your batteries lie in plain sight.
3Attach your red jumper cable to the terminal with a positive connection on your car battery. Attach your other red cable to the positive portion of your cycle battery.
4Attach the opposite jumper to the negative terminal of your car. Attach the opposite end of the cable to a metal portion of your cycle, like the rear axle.
5Start your BMW 1100 LT. However, keep your car turned off, because you may harm the electrical portion of the vehicle if you turn it on. Take off all of the cables in the opposite order from the way you installed them.
