Maybe yes and maybe no. If there are default switches/relays that run off the battery than they probably will shut off the engine.

Possibly not. If the stator and voltage regulator are working properly, it should keep running, but many motorcycles will not run without a battery.

Sure why not? The battery is only really there to turn the starter and run accessories at low engine speeds. Most motor cycles will generate their own electricity when running and only use the battery for extra load. Depending on your system, you can damage stuff running without a battery so try to avoid it.

Some bikes will some bikes won't, no big scare, the deeper question is why would you want to?

Running your motorcycle without a battery should be avoided. That may have worked back in the early 60's when everything had a generator but not now. The battery will flatten out and remove the alternator high voltage pulses that are harmful to the battery charging and regulating components.

Yes. The battery only starts the bike. It does not run on the battery. Thats what a ******* engine does
