When you jump it from a big battery where do you connect the cables?If you connect them straight to the bike battery terminals Ive got no idea,but if you connect say the neg to the frame or engine this would suggest you have poor earthing somewhere between battery and engine block.Ive had a bad earth to engine.There is an earth wire that connects right behind the engine where you cant see it and mine was all crudded up.
