have you ever?
 

Bump started a 1200cc twin?!?! Jesus! I thought my heart would explode after the 4th try.

Lesson learned, take the damn key out or at least turn it off...

Hahahaha!!!:lol::lol::lol:

did you try it in 2nd?

i bumped my 800, but i think it's hard cuz it's v-twin.

Second and third. Second finally worked. First just locks up the rear.

Then again, second just locked up till I jumped on it full force and popped the clutch.

I've always done it in 2nd gear...but never on the big twin.

Those of us riding I-4's would'nt know our bikes run forever:poke:

Even when you leave them sitting all day with the lights on?


Then again, if your starter were on my beast, it probably wouldn't turn it over to begin with. Cough cough

Because ours don't have to turn over a tractor motor :lol:

Had a guy trying to start his 1098 at a local trackday.

Every time he dumped the clutch the rear wheel would lock.

I asked him why he didn't try using 2nd gear, he informed me it was skidding in 3rd!!!

I have to hand crank my tractor.

I never have on a v-twin and looks like I'm glad I haven't !! :lol:

That ain't no BIG v-twin.

Trying doing it on a 117CI v-twin that weights 800lbs.

Hell just trying pushing it... I had to once like a half fuckin mile!!

Yeah, pass. Thanks.

My TL a couple times...I feel you.

Same here, a few times on the TL. The CBR was a breeze compared to the TL.

Yes I actually got passed more this way then when it was running.

seriously dude...that shit was no joke...

i had to bump start an 1150 GS...FULLY LOADED. OMFG that thing nearly gave me a heart attack...took four times to get it started...the funny thing was i tried it in second twice third once and nothing...then i was like fuck it put it in first, sonbitch popped right over, go figure
