Default Jumpstart 2019 Heritage?

How do I jumpstart my 2019 heritage classic since the battery is not accessible?

If you can get one of the jumper cables on the large battery cable connection on the starter and the other on a good solid bare metal ground that should work.

You must make it accessable. And only then in an emergency. If the maintenance charger will not bring it back, replace battery.


If you do jump it, and something is wrong, you risk about $700 to replace regulator and alternator.

That's why it's not a good idea to leave maintenance charger on all the time. Just when bike sits for months.

That way, the last place it starts is home will hopefully not happen.

Default Jumpstarting

Connect the power cable of your jump pack and or jumper cables to the power wire located on your starter. It’s usually covered by a rubber boot. Then put your ground on an engine bolt. It’ll work everytime.

Be safe. Hook cables up as above and let the jumper car charge the dead battery for about 15 minutes. Remove the jumpers and fire up the bike unassisted.
