What happens when you neglect your other toys.....

Hehe....Since I got my M4 on Nov 16, today was the first time I tried to start her. The battery was so drained I had to start the car and run her for 10 min to give the battery enough juice to start my 48 But......she did run and purr like a kitten when I took her for a short night ride. I actually put a tune in her too. Runs and pulls like silk and the throttle is like a Sport Bike's when you roll on and off it

Get a charger if your going to let it sit..

Its only a hundred bucks and a lot less than a $1000 dollar battery.

A battery ain't running 1k$ but it's good to get an CTEK 5.0 batt-charger( that's what I use for my bike and my car )

Wait, you can afford a M4 but not a $50 Lithium Ion jump pack?

Who uses jumper cables anymore?
