The flywheel on my Scrambler 400 has been shaved for weight reduction, meaning the teeth for the electric starter have been milled off. But I still keep a battery in it just to keep the electrical system healthy.
And don't worry about preserving the stock POS battery, just leave it in there and kickstart it. If the battery's no good when the weather breaks it'll be a good opportunity to upgrade it.
