Bench testing car starters, and light trucks= 60-150 amps some gm's as high as = 250 amps

A good starter will normally draw 60 to 150 amps with no load on it, and up to 200 amps or more while cranking the engine. The no load amp draw depends on the rating of the starter while the cranking amp draw depends on the displacement and compression of the engine. Always refer to the OEM specs for the exact amp values. Some "high torque" GM starters, for example, may have a no load draw of up to 250 amps.

Have you read any good books lately ?
id hate to have to kick start that motorcycle.
