What Causes Jerking in Motorcycles?
1 Answers
There are many reasons why a motorcycle may experience jerking, which are generally caused by issues related to fuel supply, carburetor, electrical circuits, or the air filter. The problem should be inspected and addressed accordingly. Fuel supply issues: A slightly clogged fuel tank cap or fuel filter can cause insufficient fuel supply when accelerating. In such cases, the fuel tank cap or fuel filter should be cleaned thoroughly. Carburetor issues: If the carburetor is slightly clogged, it can also lead to poor fuel supply. Cleaning the carburetor usually resolves the problem. Electrical circuit issues: Check the amount of carbon buildup on the spark plug. Excessive carbon buildup may indicate that the carburetor's air-fuel mixture is too rich, leading to incomplete combustion. In this case, adjust the carburetor's air-fuel mixture ratio and remove the carbon deposits. Check if the air filter is clogged. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, which can cause an overly rich air-fuel mixture, resulting in incomplete combustion and reduced engine power. If the filter is clogged, replace the air filter or clean the filter element thoroughly.
