Emergency Starting Technique

If your 1000cc twin cylinder bike won't start, it can be difficult to bump-start it. But if you have another bike handy, you can use it as a starting-roller.

The XR650L is a duel sport bike.39hp

The XR650R 60hp is a racing bike that has been dominating desert races all over the world for over 10yrs. Watch the movie Dust to Glory about the 2003 Baja1000. The bike that is "Smoking Every Thing Out There" including the 800hp Unlimited Trucks is the XR650R!

Where I ride and race, So-Cal, No-Nev deserts we often ride at speeds above 80mph. The last thing we need is a center stand flopping down after a hard landing and hooking on something!

@XemphasisontheeyesX The 990 Adventure is not a racing bike - the the 950 Super Enduro for that (and it doesn't have a centre stand). Right tool for the job: doing an over-land expedition? 990 Adv; Racing? Enduro bike.

And in thousands of miles, on and off road, I've never had a stand come down.

I can't tell if this is straight up stupidity, or pure genius.
