In this diy video tutorial I demonstrate how to fabricate an external jump start battery post with a few simple nuts and bolts purchased from any local home goods store.

If you've had issues with your bikes electrical charging system and have been left stranded on the road side then you know having quick access to your battery terminals is a must have to get your bike home.

In my riding career I've experienced this scenario quit a few times: I'm hanging out with few friends after a beautiful ride, enjoying myself, eating a good meal (fast food) and we begin to gear up to head home. I go turn the key for my warm up and... nothing....WTH!

Yup, good old stator and dead battery issues. You think it will never happen to you.. but when you least expect it.. BAM!. your stranded. It's like the two components are plotting together, waiting till you are miles away from home and the opportune time to ruin your day. Conspiracy I tell you!

Well with that said, each and every time this happen to me I thought to myself, "there has to be a better way" to have quick access to my battery without having to whip out some tools from the trunk, remove my seat, struggle with trying to pull out and prop up the battery in order to clamp on some huge ass jumper clamps meant for a car battery only to jump the battery for a few messily minutes and repeat the process in reverse order to put everything away. Yes I know what your thinking, why don't you just push start it.. come on!.. did i not just mention I just finished eating. Who's got time or the energy for all that away, not me.

Nope not me, I'm smarter than that. I like to plan, prep, and prepare for my next breakdown. I've been riding to long and experienced too many issues with my 16 year old GiXXR with a 134K miles on the clock.

Well, aside from this diy being a quick, get your ass off the road feature, it also comes in handy when probing electrical components with a test light or any situation where you need a quick power supply. That being said, take a gander at the following video and see how I was able to achieve this.
