Ok, I have a RCC turbo kit still running in a FMU with the external fuel pump that comes with the kit. I have had my turbo busa since 2011 with no issues. I always put my bike on a battery tender and never had battery problems. So today I was trying to think of when I replaced my battery last, (battery works just fine)? Ok, a lot of chatter but here is my question for you.
If the battery dies when I am out riding. Will I be able to push start the turbo busa? I ask because when I turn the key on, I can hear the fuel pump start and pressurize the system prior to ignition. But if the battery is dead and you try to push start you obviously don’t get the priming action from the fuel pump.
I have turned off my bike while rolling at 30 mph and popped the clutch and the bike acts like any other bike and starts up. But the fuel rails and lines are still pumped up so I don’t think that is a reproduction as if I stop for lunch somewhere and 40 minutes later try to start the bike on a dead battery. So, would I be stranded or could I push start the bike and get home?
