your "mechanic"? I suggest you find a smarter mechanic. I back mine up from my porch with the engine runnin ALL the time. no bike I'm on has ever had a problem with this.

I called a mechanic and he said that when the bike is rolling backwards it can cause a spike in the flux capacitor. That in turn produces an excess of homotrons and might cause the bike to stall.

If you have your mechanic screw your chit up like this poor guy, you can run your bike in reverse all day:

Now that would be a great application for the helmet mounted back up cam... at least your neck wouldn't get sore from having to turn your head all the time.
