How Do I Jump Start a BMW 1100 LT?

1. Position the motorcycle near the front end of the car. Ensure that the vehicle and the motorcycle are not touching in any way. Turn off both the vehicle and the motorcycle, and remove the keys from the ignition.
2. Open the hood of the vehicle and remove the seat of the BMW K 1100 LT to expose the batteries.
3. Connect the jumper cable with the red handle to the positive terminal on the vehicle's battery. Connect the other red jumper cable to the positive terminal on the motorcycle's battery. Take great care to ensure that the positive terminal does not touch any other metal on the motorcycle.
4. Connect the other jumper cable to the negative terminal on the vehicle's battery. Hook the other end of the jumper cable to a metal area of the motorcycle, such as the rear axle nut. Do not mistake chrome for metal.
5. Turn on the motorcycle, but do not turn on the vehicle as doing so could destroy the motorcycle's electrical system. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order that they were installed.
