BATTERY BLUES...

Say,

Has  anyone ever tried to "run and bump" jump start an FJ with a dead batt?

I've done that frequently with dirt bike bikes and my old Norton, but never with a contemporary bike.

Oh wait, I Just had another thought... I might be too old to try it now!!

"Not I, said the cat."

I'm doubtful it would work without a good amount of speed. The FI system requires a minimum amount of current to operate, along with the fuel pump.
