Jumpstarting a scooter

[theswede]

Sometimes we see the question pop up about jumpstarting from a cage, and the advice usually given is to do it with the engine off in the cage.
I've always wondered about the reason for that advice, and today I found an article that explains the reasoning behind it.
The guy is talking about a proper motorcycle, but the principle is the same on a scooter.

So now you know why you'll kill the electrical system on a scooter/MC if you jump it from a running cage.

Well trying to do the moral thing, i stayed on the boric thread over at the pound trying to stop folks from blowing them selves up, while kiwi went on forever about how he screwed up putting boric in his case by about 7 spoons too many and how no one better use it and I got banned because enough baby's complained about my "yes red necks are dirt" style of writing.

I did not meet a better class of people buying a scooter.

I think many of these folks are as good as it gets and i am thankful for the friendships, but many are abused kids grown up to adults and abuse others,,,,,,,,for my money especially flamboyant types as a act of jealousy.

Another thing i would add, like so many abused kids they also play with fire and danger like it was a game.

you mix all those things together and then give them a forum and you got what next door is all about.

I will cut no slack on this, this is the real world and i am a rebel, i do not act by convention and pussy foot conformity, which is the biggest drag on the world there is, or will i try to destroy creative people
which is a big sickness with the mass of mankind.

and yes one of the greatest things that ever happen to the gy 6 engine got lost in the stamped of morons. plus based on the great sense of observation such genius are know for, they banned my girlfriend, real manly


in short, don't think if you get a bike you are gonna get away from all that above mentioned slock.

different ride but same hostel cow brain redneck crap.

that would be your language not my mine.

and my dearest apologizes to the swede for the tread hi jack.

Where i live there are many who know little of books, art and the classics, which a knowledge of has never and does not guarantee
a human who is evolved enough to take into there hands the care of another human being.

These book less folks often times would not hurt anything that breathed, including there own live stock raised for food.

I see them every day and they remind me often why the "Meek" will inherit the earth.

Its never less then humbling to have one of these simple folks
"out wit" me in kindness, which often they are grand artist at doing, for all my education and wit.

No, this is another language and another value system I speak from,

When i say red necks i mean the sociopaths who see humans and their existence as just some thing that benefits them or needs to be put aside, even snuffed out maybe.

The book less folks i so often see on the back roads here in
Butt Rock SC never put anyone to the side.


Even terrilee who got called "Trailer park White trash" next door, is not a redneck, she has some real morals and stick to it codes of human worth and behavior, where people get lost with her is she is willing to take your head off to defend those "standards" which include for the record, to some degree a respect for all loving things.

No the folks i mean are treason to the human family and this country, and they come both side of the isle.

And they leave a trail of hurt for which there is no excuse of heaven or on earth.

every body has a knee jerk philosophy of one sort or the other.

But the folks I mean have a philosophy that is so self centered that a few human lives pushed haphazardly out of the way mean nothing, especially to keep up a false decorum and appearance.

Never let a lack of season tickets to the "Opera" make you feel less then others, there's folks,,,, many folks who killed all the way to the front row there.

Doug, at times you are about as kind as it gets.

Just my distorted opinion.


I don't think were in danger here below-
