But how is it harder on the clutch and gearbox than any normal takeoff? I've thought about this and really don't know why it would present a risk.
I "bumpstart" my '72 H2 regularly, and have for 40 years or so, without a problem. The only difference I can think of might be that the 250 engine, being a 4-stroke, might be harder to get spinning, especially if you have to do it in first gear.
So if it takes excessive clutch slipping, for example, then it's telling you that it's not a good idea.
