An alternative is to jump to the battery side of the starter solenoid which
is easier to reach and doesn't require removal of seat and such. It also
doesn't involve the arcing created by trying to jump the starter directly.
FWIW

P.S. If we but knew, staying in bed is often a far better option than
getting up.

Hi guys
Just had my 2"links installed and the new sidestand. Love the
height of the seat now - I can almost get on without my wife giving
me a legup. The only annoyance is the way the sidestand tries to
keep me upright in corners. It has definitely limited the
clearance on the left hand side although at the rate I was wearing
it down it won't be a problem too much longer as long as I don't get
chucked off. It might have a bit to do with the fact that I'm
vertically challenged but horizontally gifted. You know - KLR 2"
lower with about 285 lbs on it.
Can anyone tell me whether a sidestand is gunna solve these
clearance problems. It's nowhere near as much fun sitting upright
through those left handers just over the hill.
