I know it seems like jolly good fun, but when jump starting your modern
motorbike with all that electrical wizardry on-board DO NOT reverse the
polarity on the donor vehicle.  Just wipe the terminals and make
completely sure you have them the right way round.

Yes yes, having a natty little dongle on your ignition key to hot wire
the solenoid is a wizard jape.  It does make you a vastly superior and
enlightened Entity.  However when the nice man with the diagnostic
computer tells you the ECU on your ST4S does actually have a fried
circuit, the not at all nice bint at Ducati Leeds gets to snigger like a
fucking mong when she quotes you NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO earth
pounds.

This has been a Public Service Announcement.
