I also use the starter on Teresa, but bump start the YARDIS. It's because I just can't smoothly bump start a relatively light bike with a (big in comparison) 650cc single and I suspect that regular bump starts contributed to the early death of the last drive belt.
OTOH, long FAS sessions with starter use stress the battery. The question is, which hand of mine I should bite? (I vote on the battery. That's possible to recharge time to time and easy to replace if fails.)
