What Causes Motorcycle Jerking?
1 Answers
Motorcycle jerking can be referred to as "misfiring." "Jerking" occurs when the combustible gas fails to ignite, increasing resistance during the compression stroke and decreasing resistance during the exhaust stroke, resulting in uneven speed. The specific reasons are analyzed as follows: The adjacent gear teeth in the transmission are not fully disengaged, causing mutual interference. During diagnosis, start with the jerking symptoms while driving. For example, if the motorcycle runs normally in one gear but jerks after shifting to another, it indicates poor transmission assembly quality or deformation of certain parts, preventing the sliding gear from moving into place. In this case, the motorcycle must be stopped and repaired immediately to avoid damaging the gears or engine. If jerking occurs in all gears, check whether the spark plug fires continuously and strongly. If the spark plug misfires or has a weak spark, follow the fault diagnosis method for the ignition system to identify and resolve the issue. If the spark plug is normal, check whether the fuel line is clogged, whether water has mixed into the fuel, or whether the contact gap of the circuit breaker is too large.
