If it were simply a fubar'd kicker, the electric starter should turn the motor.

Of course he may have "fully charged" a worthless battery and totally ruined my theory.
The battery is a liar...

You're right, he could have surface charge, but no amps to back it up.

I could see maybe a 1/4 turn worth of play, but 3/4? Nah. Not buying it. (the theory, not the bike).

Troy, for me it's a no go with the 550 motor. Too much weight without enough power. I would be tempted to squeeze a CB750 motor into it, or go the opposite direction, and put a CB350 in there, and save on weight.

Decisions, decisions...
