Default I left my lights on, I'm a moron.


Well last night I left my lights on and the batteries dead. I tried to start it by rolling it down the hill on my street and that didn't work, not even close. So now I have a 450# bike that won't start, only it's one block away and about 50' lower elevation. My son in-law is on his way over and we are going to try to get it home, maybe pull it up with the minivan.

My question is should I buy a charger and recharge the battery, or can I safely jump start the bike. It's a new 2005 Suzuki S50 but only five months old. I know I've seen this discussed somewhere but can't remember where.

Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
