If you ever find yourself needing to do this, it's best to be in a higher gear, such as second or third to prevent the rear tire from just skidding when you release the clutch. There's a time I had to do this on my DRZ400 in the woods after I dumped the bike on a sketchy off canter section. I killed the battery trying to start engine too soon after flooding it. I had to bump start in 4th gear on a tight trail in the woods with a slight down hill. The ground was soft and just kept skidding the tire everytime I tried. I finally made the effort to push the bike as far up the trail as possible, and after taking a rest and thinking over where and how on the trail I was going to release the clutch, I put the bike in 4th gear, pulled in the clutch and ran it as fast as possible down the trail, jumped on and released the clutch as I preloaded all my weight to rear tire, the engine fired up and I was very relieved haha.

this has inspired me to pick up a jump starter when i go get a dr in one or a few months

@@johjoh4571 Glad to hear that, it is definitely a good investment. With how far battery technology has come in recent years, it really just makes sense to have one around. The one I have is powerful enough to jump start my truck several times before needing to be recharged, and yet, it's weight and size is small enough to easily carry in the backpack. You can get them the size of a cellphone now without spending a lot of money.

This was how all the grand prix race bikes were started before the mid-90's (I think). Including all those high compression 500 Manx Nortons. I don't think the idea of damaging the machine doing this ever entered into the head of any racer or team mechanic.

Hi, do you have model for your handleguard and did you need any cutting? Thx.

@cogentdynamics 3 жыл бұрын

If you're speaking of the brush guard s, they are Enduro Engineering and they are the best in my opinion. They did not take any cutting and provided clearance for the levers and cables. There are a few options but mine are on pro taper bars. I use them on both DRs and my KTM.

Not good for the engine if used very often Isn't it?

Not sure! Don't need it often for sure. I know it's not good for the pusher! 😊

@@dancarlos1216 when using the starter you are on neutral but the very moment you push it on second gear, every thing starts at once. Don't know maybe I am mistaken but I wouldn't use it very often.
