As far as bump starting it, I tried that the other month just to see if I could do it. Every bike I've owned in the last 40 years was able to do it. I live on a nice size hill and I tried starting my 1200 sport in just about every gear, And all it did was skid the rear wheel. I weigh about220 pounds fully dressed and it did not want to move that rear wheel in any gear it either skidded or Bucked. Anybody have any luck starting at 1200 sport on a hill? If so let me know how.

Yup. I had the issue- bump started it- drove home- nd di the wiring fix with stuff on hand. It's that easy.
