What Causes the Motorcycle Rear Wheel to Not Move?
2 Answers
Reason is that the motorcycle is in gear, you need to shift out of gear to freely push the motorcycle. Additional Information: Motorcycle Power: The main power source of a motorcycle comes from the engine, where the movement of the crankshaft and piston generates power, and the crankshaft transmits this power to the clutch. Motorcycle Maintenance Methods: Regularly lubricate the motorcycle's chain; clean the front and rear wheels to prevent mud, plastic bags, and other debris from getting tangled; avoid carrying excessively heavy loads to prevent shortening the motorcycle's lifespan; clean the exhaust pipe to avoid clogging; wash the motorcycle regularly; use synthetic oil for lubrication, as synthetic oil provides better lubrication than regular oil; when washing the motorcycle, try to avoid water entering the horn and other electronic components.
I've been repairing motorcycles for nearly twenty years, and I've seen the rear wheel being hard to push countless times. The most common issue is a stuck brake system, especially on older models with drum brakes, where rusted brake shoes can tightly lock the rear axle. Then there's the chain problem—if the chain is too tight or jammed with stones and gravel, the rear wheel turns as if it's welded shut. A damaged rear wheel bearing can also completely lock the wheel; I once encountered a customer's bike where the bearing balls were shattered into pieces. Additionally, if a motorcycle isn't used for a long time, the brake disc and brake pads can stick together, requiring a gentle tap with a rubber mallet to separate them. If the tire is punctured by something like a nail and the rim grinds directly against the ground, the wheel won't move, but this can be fixed by replacing the spare tire yourself.
