    I grew up riding dirt bikes and used these tricks all the time. As an adult, my Yamaha mt09 (850 triple cylinder) had a dead battery and I thought "no biggie, I'll bump start it. time to put that dirt bike knowledge to good use". I learned it's WAY harder to push start a bigger engine than the dirt bikes I was used to. After 30 minutes of pushing a 400+ lbs bike up and down a hill without any success I decided to go buy a trickle charger lol. I think all my neighbors enjoyed watching me run around though

      I think that most of the problem with newer, bigger bikes is the fuel pumps and injection and ecus that need power to work. My 1998 FZS600 is pretty easy to bump start, just have it in 2nd and drop the clutch, jumping on the seat if more traction is needed.

    • @jonnoMoto
      @jonnoMoto 3 года назад +1

      One tip I realised far too late - Also use the electric starter at the same time as bumping. Even if the battery is so dead it won't turn over the engine by itself, every little helps.

    Two things I want to add,
    First, second is always better. I had an old cruiser that I was bump starting and put it in first and it broke the gear.
    Second, when doing the “tug” I have always had the back person step on the strap instead of hooking it to their peg. When they want to release they just let go. I’ve seen too many people eat dirt because the person in front kept going

    Back in the early 90's, at a little private track about 1/2hr south of Grand Rapids, Front end high on a 3rd gear, uphill, blind 40 foot double. I pulled in the clutch to hit the rear brake at the apex of the arc, and stalled the motor while 20 feet in the air. Wind blowing through my helmet sounded so soothing. Bumped started it on the back side of the landing jump, and rode away. I love happy endings. :)

    or using the mentioned strap as a pull starter like on a lawnmower
    wrap the strap around the rear but dont attach it anywhere with your pull line going out at the bottom
    on most bikes get it in 2nd and just pull on the strap
