What are the reasons for a motorcycle not starting in first gear?
1 Answers
Motorcycle not starting in first gear is caused by low temperature and idle speed issues. Motorcycle low temperature: If you use the kick starter, the low temperature in winter makes it difficult to start. In this case, you should pull the choke (also known as the choke valve). Normally, it should be pushed all the way down. During cold starts in winter, it should be pulled to the top. After the engine starts, leave it for about 15 seconds and then adjust it to the middle position. When the motorcycle has warmed up, return it to the normal state—pushed all the way down. This process usually takes about three to five minutes. Motorcycle idle speed issue: Sometimes the motorcycle doesn't start due to low idle speed. In summer, the tachometer needle should point to one mark or slightly more. In winter, adjust it to between one and a half and two marks.
