It might but it also might be an expensive experiment. In the 70's/80's you could run a car without a battery once it was started and the alternator would carry the load quite well. Don't know about newer technology though.
I would not want to try a bike with a rectifier in the system and no battery. Parts = $$$.

Re: Push start your GZ.

In the 70's & 80's you could also check to see if the vehicle was charging by removing a battery cable & see if the vehicle would stay running.You try that today and it could cost big bucks.Also on another note:If you are boosting your bike,make sure the vehicle doing the boosting is NOT running or you will fry the electronics on your bike.
:cool:
