RLETS, Baby face Sliders, Staintune Slip-on, CB500 Mirrors, smaller led taillight, OEM rear rack, Guhl reflash, handlebar risers, Kawasaki Gaiters.
My OEM battery died at exactly 2 yrs.
I was able to bump start it in a relatively flat parking lot (used 3rd gear). Didn't work the first time because I left the kick stand down
The battery was too far gone to turn the engine, but there was still plenty left to power the ECU and the lights. Once started, the alternator kept it going just fine.
If the battery is really "completely dead", it's not going to start. Without power to the ECU and the fuel pump, you're stuck.
