Since we mostly don't have newer bikes here I don't see the relevance of your post.

 

The way I understand it you can't bump-start a vehicle that has electronic ignition if the battery is dead.

You've got to have some juice in the battery for it to work.

 

Usually you just have a low battery...not dead. You cant' "bump" start any Harley that doesn't have a generator or magneto, with a completely dead battery...alternators have to have field excitation voltage to have any output. EFI bikes can be bump started with a battery too low to operate the starter...seen it done.

 

Hey! Mines newer than YOURS.......

 

Your bike is almost old enough to vote!!!!!!!!
That ain't new for a bike.

 

bump started a street bob efi a few weeks ago.

 

Want a cookie?

As previously stated the only thing that prevents you from bump starting a vehicle with electronic ignition is a dead battery.

 

if you're offering.
