How to start a motorcycle without a starter lever? The starter lever of the motorcycle is stuck and cannot be stepped on. What is the reason?

In the past, if a motorcycle could not be started directly or stalled in the middle of a journey, many people would choose to step on the starter lever to start the engine. However, most motorcycles nowadays do not have a starter lever. How can you start a motorcycle without a starter lever?

How to start a motorcycle without a starter lever

If you are alone, you can do this:

Step 1: Shift to 3rd gear when the engine is turned off

Step 2: Hold the clutch and push the vehicle speed to above 6km/h

Step 3: Release the clutch handle suddenly and then add gas

Under normal circumstances, provided there are no other faults in the vehicle's power system, the above three steps can be used to start a vehicle without a starter lever. This is usually only necessary when the battery is out of power, but if there are other engine faults, this operation will be of no use.

If there are friends with you at the time, one person can sit in the car to control it, and another person can push it from the back. This way it will not be easy to reverse, because if one person pushes from the side if the road is uneven, it may cause the car to roll over. If it is pushed from the back, there will not be a big problem if there are people in the car. As long as there is no problem with the vehicle's power system, the car can be started in this way.

The motorcycle starter lever is stuck and can't be stepped on. What's the reason?

1. Internal parts fall off. Any part falling off will cause the engine to be unable to rotate. The more common internal parts falling off include small chains, overrunning clutch fastening screws, clutch small screws, etc. As for which parts fall off, the only way is to disassemble the machine for inspection.

2. The overrunning clutch is not disengaged smoothly. This is mainly because the overrunning clutch is easy to lock after long-term use. When the overrunning clutch is locked, the starter will not work and the starter lever will be difficult to step on.

3. Engine seizure is mainly caused by lack of engine oil. The biggest function of engine oil is lubrication, and if the amount of oil is too little, it is difficult to play a lubricating role, so the vehicle will have cylinder seizure.

Why do some motorcycles not have a kick-starter?

The motorcycle starter lever is a configuration installed on motorcycles with small displacement and few cylinders for human-powered vehicle starting. Because the resistance inside the cylinder of a motorcycle with small displacement and few cylinders is relatively small, only a small section of the starter lever can be used to push the cylinder to operate, thereby achieving the purpose of starting the vehicle.

The starting method of motorcycles has evolved from the old-fashioned pure foot-operated one, to the later combination of foot-operated and electric-operated one, and now almost all of them are electric-operated ones. Even motorcycles with small displacement rarely have a starter lever. In the past era of carburetors, foot-operated starter levers were more common, but with the improvement of emission standards, motorcycles are basically equipped with electronic fuel injection, and after using electronic fuel injection, starter levers are basically not equipped.
