Default Booster Pack

hey all.. i cant seem to find any forum talk on this so here goes... i just ordered a noco 1000 amp booster pack as i travel cross southeast quite alot... always like to be prepared and just read where AAA road service will tow bikes ,but not jumpstart them.. if needed can the positive of the booster clamp to the positive of the starter to start any bike ? is this identical to the positive of the battery ? sure would be easier...heard this is fine but wanted more input from fellow riders... appreciate ya

Seeing the positive post of the starter is directly connected to the positive post of the battery I'd say yes............but that is cramped quarters on any bike.

I believe you can go directly on the positive post of the battery with those things but not sure.

DONT EVER GET A JUMP FROM A CAR BATTERY WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING!

I put this on my bike. You can jump start bike without removing seat and run heated clothing through it.

That link doesn't specify the exact product your referring to......
those wires are usually quite small to be carrying any good amperage to charge a battery......too much and the wires burn up.

Simply scroll down and there’s a photo of the product.
Heavier guage wire than a standard Battery Tender one. Look at the specs.

I've jumped more than a few hooking directly to the positive cable at the starter.

I have an Antigravity XP-10, with their jumper harness installed. Have never had to use, but it is there if I need it.
