If you've ever been stuck due to a failing battery or starter, you might have been tempted to try and "bump-start" or "push-start" your bike. This can actually be done with a modern, computer-controlled, fuel-injected bike. However, with the high-compression engine and big 'ole pistons found in the RT, there are some important things to understand in order to be successful. I did some road testing to figure out how bump-starting can best be done on this motorcycle.
