Starter button defect in the middle of nowhere. Should bump start work?

Hello,

I am on a long trip with a V-Strom from 2010 in northern Sweden.

In the last days front light started flickering and yesterday I experienced more and more problems with starting the engine. I think its the often described problem with the starter button. I think workshops here cannot help me and I have neither the knowledge right now nor the stuff to fix it.

Would hypothetically bump starting possible with a dead starter button? I would try to learn bump start the machine and head back home.

Thanks for your help!
