Went to start bike up, but found battery to be dead. Whats the best tec to bump start...

 

[Omar]

when i bump start my bike put it in 2nd off you go
remember to hold the clucth when the bike start up

 

[DW.]

? Please explain. Put in 2nd off you go. Bike completely dead there no light on at all.

 

[D-Drz]

get someone to push you and then try start it normal with clutch in

 

[inkaholic]

yo dude. turn key as normal 2nd gear, clutch in- if no one to push then run with bike. let out the clutch fast and twist the throttle a little your bike should then start. once the bike kicks in let off the throttle and pull the clutch. be carefull dude, dont let the bike run away with you. Also if it doesn't work as you let the clutch out put your weight on the tank to help with rear wheel traction. check out some vids on youtube too mate

1. PUT BIKE IN 2ND OR 3RD
2. PUSH DOWN HILL or a flat road will do
3. LET OUT CLUTCH

quick note, mine wouldnt bump start wit hardly any juice in battery, not always a dead cert, this confused me so i asked yamaha they said you may struggle with it being fuel injected :S

Yep with no fuel pressure, due to the pump not running it doesn't build enough fuel pressure, most fuel injected systems, when there is insufficient fuel pressure inhibit the firing of the injectors to allow the fuel pressure to build, hence they won't always bump off. The other problem you can get with bigger bikes, is if they are fitted with a slipper clutch they also won't bump off unless it's a tight slipper.
