Re: If the bike isn't charging correctly, how many miles?
You can start it with jumper cables and your car battery if you need to take it somewhere to get it charged up. Jump it just like a car. Be careful not to stick your face into the business parts when you are connecting the jumper cables - it's possible for Bad Things to happen if you have a defective battery.
Make sure you have the kill switch set to "on" and the key in the right position when you are push starting it. If second doesn't work, try third (and first! I had the best luck in first, although others swear by second.) I even started my Strat up once with the clutch when I stalled it just before heading downhill.
