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......

Just a quick back up to my last post. Was talking to a mate about this and he has replaced his battery with a 5000uF Capacitor. As the engine kicks over power is generated in the Alternator and the charging circuit sends it to the 'battery'...The Capacitor stores a little and releases it slowly for a fraction of a second allowing the dreaded chip to set itself before starting the bike....Jobs a good 'un!
