Default Bump starting
So my day was chity I left the accessory on had to go to work. On top of that my ol lady took the jeep which had my only pair of shades. So I don't have quick battery charger so I bump started the bike. I really think bump starting is something everyone needs to know how to do when in a jam. Back to the shades I had to go find her well riding with clear on it was freaking bright as hell out. So it was a great day lol. Hope y'all are getting some great riding in.

A far as I know, you can't "bump start" a newer injected bike once the battery has been run down. The electronics won't have enough voltage to run properly to allow the bike to start. At least you got a ride in!
