How do you jump start a 1999 Yamaha virago 1100?

Is the battery dead? Lost beyond being able to be charged? Well if your not sure, remove battery and clean all connections. All! Then use a quality charger to charge the battery. If it won't take a charge, then you need a new battery. These bikes are hard to push start if not impossiable..with a dead/bad battery. If you really need to just get it started, jump it with your car. Not running. Or a good charger if you have one. Red's.+ black neg. Clean all of your connections first, or you probably won't make the supply to the starter! (hence no start.)
