Lesson #3 - you have to remove the side >covers and the seat to get to the battery to jump start it. >Sigh, why couldn't they have just made it so you could >get to it by pulling a side cover? 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 Norm 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.
