Starting total loss bike

[dunnas52]

Hi all,
I've just bought a bike that is running total loss but with the starter motor still present. Can I still use the starter motor to get it started? Is it as easy as connecting a external battery up to it? ...I'm completely sick of having to bump start it everytime i need to work on it...

Any advice would be much appreciated

Of course you can still use the starter.................if it's still there and if the wiring is still there...............


You will of course need to keep the battery charged...............I'm assuming you know that anyway ???
