I did exactly the same thing. Pushing off the big thumper is not an option.
To jump the Savage off.
expose the right side of the battery. (Under to tool pouch)
Bring to source vehicle around to this side & connect the cables to it.
Clamp the (-) black to the Savage rear brake pedal.
Assemble the screw driver from the tool kit & clamp the (+) red lead to its metal shaft
Have some one hold the tip of the screw driver to the exposed battery terminal. BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH IT TO ANY OTHER METAL PART OF THE BIKE.
Now start the bike.
Once start be EXTREMELY careful not to stall it until you can trickle charge the bike.
