Generally, a motorcycle has two turn signal relays and a starter relay. Below are specific methods to determine if a motorcycle relay is faulty: Method 1: The lights are dim or do not turn on. The motorcycle cannot be started using electric ignition. Method 2: Check for voltage changes. If the voltage remains unchanged as the RPM increases, it is normal. Method 3: Engine starting. If the positive terminal of the battery is disconnected and the engine does not stall, but the circuit voltage exceeds 14.5 volts or even reaches above 18 volts, then the rectifier is faulty. If the engine stalls after disconnecting the positive terminal of the battery, the rectifier is faulty and must be replaced.

How to Check if the Catalytic Converter Has Been Removed?

Furthermore, if there is a popping sound in the front section of the exhaust pipe when accelerating, it indicates that the catalytic converter is no longer present.

How to start quickly with a manual transmission without damaging the car?

Press the clutch pedal all the way down and release it slowly. Quickly lift the clutch to the semi-engagement point, and when the car shows signs of shaking, pause the left foot and stabilize the clutch. When starting, first engage first gear, slowly release the clutch, apply throttle at the semi-clutch state, and only fully release the clutch after the car starts moving. Lightly press the accelerator with the right foot until the RPM reaches around 1300-1500, then slowly release the clutch with the left foot while simultaneously applying throttle with the right foot. Shift gears when the engine RPM is around 2000, first reduce the throttle and then press the clutch pedal, so the clutch won't be forced to disengage, and then shift gears.
