It does, but depending on how weak/dead the battery is, it may not want to kick over. At least not very easily. If it was just low because he left the lights on, but otherwise still a good battery, then it would probably kick over. If the battery is literally dead, or has too much internal resistance to it, then it won't quite generate enough power to start, or stay running at the very least. I have worn myself out in that situation trying to get the bike going.

In truth, I have had way better luck bump starting a dead Hawk than kick starting one.
