I have already done this conversion and never tried to kick the bike without a battery, but if my understanding of these matters is correct (based upon previous bikes) there is a slightly different electrical setup required to allow the windings to self generate a current upon a kick that is required from a battery. I'm sure someone on here will correct me/fill in the details if I'm wrong.
Regardless, I'm almost certain that no bike will start if you just remove the battery. At the very least I think you have to replace the battery with a capacitor of some size.....
Sorry I couldnt be of more definate help......
