The principle of motorcycle starting, braking, and throttle operation is to achieve controlled stopping and braking through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. Introduction to braking: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base. Under external force, a braking torque is generated. Purpose of braking: To decelerate, which can mean reducing speed or bringing the vehicle to a complete stop. When driving, it is advisable to use the brake as little as possible. Braking is a method employed only for comfort or in unavoidable emergency situations.
I've been riding motorcycles for over a decade, and during winter or when the battery is low, I often use this little trick to start the bike. The principle isn't complicated: when you pull the brake lever or step on the rear brake, you're telling the bike it's stationary to prevent accidental movement. At the same time, gently twisting the throttle to give it a bit of fuel provides the engine with extra fuel and RPM at the moment of ignition, making it easier to fire up. This is especially effective on some modern models because the ECU's anti-lock system requires detecting a brake signal during startup. But don't forget, excessive throttle twisting can damage the engine or lead to skidding risks. Personally, I find this trick useful, but relying on it long-term may mask the real issues, like an aging battery or a clogged carburetor. Always check the root cause first before trying it.
