We have been push starting our motorcycle, as we are getting good at it, we can almost bump it off in the garage, expept that the garage floor is a little too slippery and the bike skids. The sidewalk or pavement works fine.
This makes me worry that bump starting on the salt will be problematic. The bike is light, say 350 pounds tops, and is a 500cc twin. The static compression ratio is theoretically high, but the cam robs most of that due to long duration.
Can anyone relate there experience push starting motorcycles at Bonneville?
Thanks,
Eric
