1. Park both motorcycles close together. Ensure that the dead motorcycle is in neutral and that the other motorcycle's engine is off.
2. Prepare the jumper cables: Ensure the jumper cables are in good condition and the clamps are clean. Avoid letting the clamps of the positive (red) and negative (black) cables from coming into contact.
3. Connect jumpers cables: Starting with the positive (red) jumper cable, connect one end to the positive terminal (+) on the dead motorcycle's battery and the other end to the positive terminal (+) of the working motorcycle's battery. Be cautious when connecting the positive terminal to prevent sparks.
4. Connect the negative (black) jumper cable: Attach one end of the negative jumper cable to the negative terminal (-) on the working motorcycle battery (NOT on the dead motorcycle's battery). Lastly, connect the other end of the negative cable to an unpainted metal part on the frame of the dead motorcycle, not directly to the battery.
5. Start the working motorcycle: Start the working motorcycle and keep it running while the jumper cables are connected.
6. Attempt to start the dead motorcycle: Try to start the dead motorcycle using its starter, if it starts properly, let it run for a few minutes to charge the battery.
7. Disconnect jumper cables in reverse order: Once the dead motorcycle is running consistently without the need for the jumpers, turn off both engines. Now disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order you connected them, starting with the black ones.
8. Let the dead motorcycle run: Allow the dead motorcycle to run for a while so its battery can recharge. It's recommended to ride it for at least 30 minutes or more to fully charge the battery before turning it off.
