The ignition system is an issue, but before it will work, the charging system has to produce some electricity. The initial question is what type of magnet does...
Unless you're dead set on removing the battery, the most strait forward solution to your bike's battery issue is to purchase a floating type battery charger...
Those work great for MCs and for cars seldom used. They apply a trickle charge, which unlike a normal charger, will not boil off the water when left attached...
