Has anyone done this? I've seen some guys push-starting their bikes so I assume they've removed the starter.
I have an 04 R6 and am interested in doing this, but keeping the starter. I've heard that you need to remove the Stator to reduce the drag (if any) of the magnets as well as the flywheel so there's less rotational mass to spin up. Then you get a smaller battery and wire the Stator wire to the negative terminal and the Generator wire to the positive terminal. Then you just need to charge the battery when not running so it has enough juice to run the starter and power you for the length of your session.
It sounds like it just requires some wiring and mechanical know-how, but I could be wrong.
I've seen batteries for around $200.
Can anyone comment on this procedure in general or more specifically for the R6?
Thanks.
