Re: Jump Start Posts?

Just installed the jumper-post to my Rockster and it works like a charm. Took the starter cover off (one screw) copper-nut off, remove the wire off, remove the cooper something and install the barcket with the nut at the end, replace the wire, washer and nut and, that was it. Now to the hardest part...

Re: Jump Start Posts?

Thanks again for this valuable info. I'll not be using the tender cables. On mOnday I'm going to the BMW dealer to buy the parts for the post in order to jump my rockster. thanks a lot.

Re: Jump Start Posts?

Thanks for all the answers; right now I have the cables that come with the battery-tender connected to the battery, can I use those to jump it? also, what do you guys think of the Panasonic LC-S1220P battery as a replacement to the expensive and crappy BMW Batt (didn't mean to rant). Thanks all.

Re: Paint Bubble on LHS Cylinder Head

My 04 rockster also developed small blisters on the left side, 2 actually. I didn't notice any lack of performance. Do you guys believe it is just a bad paint application or is it possible that anything mechanical is lurking inside there. Thanks.

Re: Happy

Pure exhilaration! Just rode back 60 miles from the dealer, what a rush :D :D :D I hadn’t been on a bike in almost a year and, by all means, this is a confidence inspiring bike. The bike has an excellent stability, immediately tested by a very strong side wind on the FL Turnpike. I did final...
