Bumping off

[X21ekx]

So the weather has finally finished my battery off but in a vien atemped to to get to work this morning I tried bumping off in 4th and 3rd down a decent hill and the back wheel just keeped locked up???
What am I doing wrong I've never had a problem before with other bikes?

Not enough friction/weight over rear wheel.

Try in sixth gear works for me. And a big sit at the same time to create more friction

It's a 1200cc twin so will take some bumping..

Optimate is your friend!

You will also have a problem in that the fuel pump needs an electrical supply in order to operate the fuel injection system. If the battery is totally drained, without 12v the bike will not start no matter how much you try to 'bump' start it.

It should be a 12u for a Hexhead not a 9u http://www.motobatt.com/index.php?r...manufacturer_id=21&category_id=63&model_id=59 doesn't matter if it is a GS or GSA

Agreed .... my link just took you to the application page. You have to fill in the relevant bike details yourself

The 1200 Hex is a v difficult bike to bump start.

It's impossible the 1200WC ! Wheel locks in all gears, plenty of weight and speed .

It's what jump leads are for.
