I bought one of these just for that reason. It will, supposed to start 20 cars, I’ve never needed it. But I’m a long walk out of it doesn’t start in Cape Breton. You are lucky to see anybody. :)

I boosted a car with mine last week, took a while for it to start, but it did. Then I put the jump starter on it's charger and it was still showing fully charged! So they're good for two jump starts for sure!

I figured it would be great in the bike. Just in case. :)

Smelled coolant. Tank a bit low but the readout shows normal operating temp. Tightened 7 of the 8 hose clamps involved (disassembling the passenger compartment as usual), the 8th I couldn't get to but it felt tight when I tried to move it. We don't have a garage at the range, so I'm lying in 4" of snow during this process. Saw no signs of a leak at any clamp. Will top off tomorrow and see what happens. Rolled over the 2K mark last week since I got it last March.

That metal pipe right between the seats with the bleeder was a bear to get sealed on mine (resorted to 2 clamps). It didn't really leak an appreciable amount...just enough to cause coolant smell.
Also my catch bottle will slosh some out in rough terrain if i keep it over minimum. I don't know if I'm missing something in mine or not, but its a poor design if not.

Every forum has to have one of these threads!!! Any new mods/maintenance/repairs/rides/wrecks (God forbid) you want to share? :)



original owner had damaged the seat back with a screwdriver in his back pocket. I had the seats recovered in heavier marine grade material in red with extra padding added. Greatly improved comfort and appearance.

I did check your thread researching if anyone else had this happen. When I got to work on my machine I found it was different than what your pictures showed.Hm1016001062
The 2017 I have uses the tube #18, and does not have all the hardware your does, just a direct connection to the engine. Well, we will see.

So you don't have #9? That's the connection to #4 that was leaking passed the clamp.
