fuel injection/push starting

[Carl McNamee]

Interesting. I guess it would be impossible to push start a fuel injected engine if the battery was completely flat. That said, I have push started my fuel injected Aprilia Futura a couple of times. There was enough juice in the battery to power everything up, but not enough to turn over the high compression v-twin. So push starting was a valid option in that case. Luckily I have not had the battery go completely flat! If you like longer trips and a sportier riding position then you'll probably enjoy the Concours. I owned a 95 model for about six years and my only reget was that it didn't have a better suspension.

Another reason why I'd better buy the Connie before Kaw. goes high tech. Just a bit of trivia that might help someone. don A17
