Slightly off your topic, but why not bump start a flat battery bike or borrow jump leads from some friendly 4 wheel owner?
I lost the use of my starter motor (solenoid from memory) on a tour of France some years ago on the first day of the trip, and I spent the next 4 weeks bump starting the bike each and every day and leaving the engine running at "splash and dash" fuel stops. It was only fixed after I got it back home.
Anyway, I would be interested in the correct answer to this thread question; currently running a kickstart Yam TT600R which does not have a battery but it does have a Reg/rec - While staring at the electrics under the seat I have assumed that this is for the 12V lighting circuits only!!?
Until I kick it over, there is no power for anything, of course.
