The other day and one other time, I left my key on and drained the battery. I tried to kick start the bike with no success. I imagine without the battery, the fuel pump doesn't pump so no gas can get to the engine. But for curiosity I've tried to start the bike when the battery was full and could not start it. I went through the same procedure (key, clutch in, start button out, etc) but used the kick start with no success. Am I doing something wrong?
I always do a couple of soft kicks to draw fuel up and then get it to a bees dick short of top dead centre then give it a hard Kick. I usually find it fires after 2 or 3 proper kicks.
