Can you push start a Harley with a dead battery?
If the battery is too dead to turn the engine over, but alive enough to turn the lights and accessories on, it’s worth attempting to bump start it. If the battery is dead though, there won’t be enough juice to run the fuel pump – which means you can push all you want but that bike isn’t going to fire up.
Can you bump start a Drz?
Yes—just push start it. The ignition on the DRZ’s is not even driven by the battery—it will run without a battery. There is a seperate coil on the flywheel that makes the juice for the ignition circuit.
How do you push start a Sportster?
You will need to get the bike moving to at least 5MPH or 8KMH so pull in the clutch while seated on the bike and have your friends push. When you’re up to speed, quickly drop the clutch and push the starter. Once the engine starts pull in the clutch and give it some gas, you want to keep the RPMs up. You’re done!
What should DC voltage be on drz400 battery?
Check resistance of coils (maintenance manual helps here to get the proper ohms). Use voltmeter on AC setting and check output of each wire while bike runs. At about 5k RPM it should read +50V. If not replace stator. If stator checks OK see what the DC volts output is at the voltage regulator. Should be +14.5V at 5kRPM. If not replace regulator

Why does my DRZ bike battery keep dying?
DRZ’s have a pretty substantial parasitic drain on them, presumably from the trip computer. They don’t seem to last more than about two weeks or less without a tender on them. Because of this, you see a lot of battery failures on the drz. The battery is tiny as well. Check your voltage at the battery with the engine running.
