Important Guidelines for Starting Your Motorcycle

Initial Setup

Consider positioning your motorcycle on a stand to ensure a stable starting point until you gain confidence.

Starting Procedure

  1. Activate Both Fuel and Choke
    Ensure both the fuel and choke are turned on.

  2. Throttle Management
    Refrain from opening the throttle. Avoid turning the throttle.

  3. Kickstart Technique
    Allow the starter to return to its original position, then deliver a full, strong, and swift kick all the way through.
    Repeat as necessary.
    Avoid rapid kicking.

  4. Warm Engine
    Once the engine is warm, do not use the choke.

Addressing a Flooded Engine

  1. Remove the Spark Plug
    If the engine is flooded, remove the spark plug.

  2. Clear the Engine
    Kick the engine over approximately ten times with the spark plug removed.

  3. Install a New Spark Plug
    Insert a new spark plug.

Additional Tip

Occasionally, it may be beneficial to slightly open the throttle to allow a small amount of air in. Do this sparingly.
