The 4 cylinders don't really pull much on starting. I would shut my civic off at stop lights and crank it back up all the time, and just bump start it on pulse and glides in town. So quarter clutch out till it cranks then push all the way back in and rev match up to like 2000 and put it back into gear.
But cranking the ranger it will kill the battery within like 3-4 cranks. The klr is the same way yet I can crank my cb750 a million times and the battery keeps going.
If you're gonna be doing it just get a volt gauge put in, and probably a deep cycle agm battery.
