I was having charging issues with stock system and a little SLA battery like you wanna run. I didn't have a capacitor though. I just installed a PMA kit from Hugh and it sits at 13.7v at idle now. Hope your method works out man.

Yeah that's the only way to kick a bike.. Kick a stroked shovel a couple times and you start to kick a little harder
