those portables kick butt, but are hard to get onto a savage witht he battery still hooked up...

The chrome box below the seat holds the battery and some tools.  Unlock the toolbox, and there should now be three, I think, screws that will allow you access to the battery.  Now let's see what I can remember.  Not much.  you need to disconect the terminals.  If I recall, disconnect the right side first, to prevent sparking when you touch the frame w/ something metal (tools).

You will likely need to disconnect the battery.  A #2 philips screwdriver will work, but I like an 8 or 10 mm socket on an extension, 1/4" drive, better.  Don't strip out the soft lead screws as much.  Once you disconnect, yank the battery and charge it for a bit, reconnect the bat and see if it'll go.  You will lielly need to remove the seat to disconnect the terminals.  A 12 or 14mm socket will do the trick.  Once the seat is off, you should be able to look straight down and see where the wires connect to the bat, kinda inside the frame.

May also be able to push start it in 2nd.  

I doubt you can get the jump pack leads onto the savage's bat leads while the bat is still connected, which would be ideal.

If you can just get the left side lead connected to the bat terminal while the bat is hooked up, you can prolly just clamp the black/ground lead to the frame or engine and crank away.

Good luck (hope that wasn't too meandering!)

No. he means running with it in 2nd clutch pulled in and then jumping on and releasing the clutch and then pulling it in real quick when the engine fires. All with the switch already on. But if the battery is compleatly dead it probably won't work anyhow. You need juice in the battery for the plug to fire. Not much but some.

Or use jumper cables or the booster and a long shank phillips screwdriver with the shank wrapped in 2 layers of electrical tape except for the pointy end and enough up near the handle to clamp on the + cable from your external power source. (or plan B the shank is encased in a old piece of plastic fuel line - not black rubber as it may have enought carbon in it to be conductive.) - (minus or black lead)  goes on the starter hold down bolt or engine bolt. carefully slide the shank of the SD down to + terminal of the battery and have a helper pull in the clutch lever and work the starter switch and choke as needed. Do remember to charge the battery back full when you get home as the alternator is a battery maintainer not a charger. Works for me and I keep the SD in the rack at the ready when I need it. Max

Just push-start your bike. Much easier than going through the hassle of getting at your battery.

Thanks for all the replys guys! I was able to just slide the battery out about an inch, clamp on the positive, and the negative I put on the rear brake petal.

Gave it a start and off she goes!! I didn't have to take the seat off either. Just the battery pulled out a bit. Thanks again for the support!

Be careful boosting your bike.  I fried my voltage regulator doing that.  Costs lots of money to replace.  Luckily I had a spare from a bike I stripped for parts.
