Hey guys im new to the forum and would like some help on my bike. This bike has no battery in it at the moment and will die if I take the jump cables off of it. I guess what im trying to ask os if this bike will run without a battery in it or will it just die. Thanks in advance for the help.....
Some bikes will some bikes wont, depends on how they are wired.
I think your GS probably needs a battery to run, I know the 1980 GS 400 I trained the wife with had to have a battery in it for ignition.
