It won't be long now.
If you stop somewhere while you are out and about - park on a hill Dude!

CURIOUS: If your battery is dead and you roll the bike to start will there be any fuel delivered to a injected engine to allow the engine to fire??

Our alternator uses magnets to create its field, it is not battery dependent.
If the battery is short circuited nothing will work.
A "dead" battery is rarely at full discharge or at 0_Volts, so after a few seconds of effort the alternator alone will allow the engine to start.
Our batteries are called starting batteries BTW.
