finnerz89 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Also if an EFI bike has a very flat battery it won't bump anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captf Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 There was power to the bike, while I was trying to bump it anyway, just not enough to start it. It has an immobiliser too, so that would also cause issues if the bike was completely dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcferreira100 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Thats why all my stuff got kickstarts..I don`t need this kinda crap. Dunno why modern bikes can`t have them as a backup. Wouldn`t want to try bump start an XT500. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
