In answer to the question that's been on everyone's mind lately is that yes, an NT can be push started, but it won't be easy. I began by riding down hill at ~30 mph and hit the kill switch to turn the engine off. I waited three seconds for everything to spool down and then turned the switch on and waited for three seconds for the ECU to initialize and engaged the clutch slowly and the engine turned over and fired up. I was in third gear and the force of compression braking was substantial. Question answered! However it is highly unlikely that you will ever be able to push an NT to 30mph to duplicate my success. So I tried a more real world experiment. I found a gradual downhill slope and found that I could coast up to 10mph fairly quickly, so I used that as my benchmark. Proceeding at 10 mph in first or second gear was unsuccessful due to compression braking, the rear tire just skidded. I could make a successful start in 3rd gear however one has to disengage the clutch immediately or the engine will try to lug and die. This BTW was done on dry asphalt. I doubt that it would work on wet pavement or gravel.
