I tried twice to jump start the Strat (this is not my GZ.) First time I stupidly had in in neutral instead of second (Doh!)

Second time was a better effort but really no sign of life at all. I was just doing it on a lark, I figured that with electronic ignition and fuel injection, I probably couldn't jump start it anyway.

I only had enough strength for two tries.

In any event, we can close this thread. I'm going to take the battery out of the bike - the dealer will re-charge it for free while I wait (and sell me a tender.) Thanks for the info.
