How does push starting bikes work? |
I've seen peoples motorcycles die on them in the streets. Their friends come over an they pushing the dead bike up to a good speed and the rider hits the switch and it starts. Does the bike need to be in neutral? And under what situations(bad battery, low gas) does this work? To push start a bike, you need the key on, the bike in neutral, with a running start, at the right speed, all you have to do is put the bike in 1st gear, release the clutch, and the bike should start. It only works on a low battery, if you are out of gas, it wont start. Acutally this is called jumpstarting the bike. Mostly when the bikes dont have enough battery left and the engine dies on them, if you push the for a lil distance with the clutch held and in maybe 1st or 2nd gear, after you reach enough speed release the clutch and the bike would start cos this time the spark in the engine is produced by the dynamo power from the bikes speed. when the battery doesn't have enough 'juice', push starting will get the bike going...or a standard transmission car. have to be in neutral, & pop the clutch. man, this makes me feel old Except use 3rd gear. well it depends dirt bikes are not that hard to push start but big cruisers can be a pain you have to have the key or ignition on and enough gas hold the clutch in put it in about third or fourth gear get it rolling pretty good and let off the clutch with any luck it will start right up if the engine is in good running condition it will work on a low battery or bad starter such as that Know from experience WHEN A BIKE WON'T START DUE TO USUALLY BAD STARTER OR ALOT OF OTHER REASONS MECHANICAL I MEAN. NOT LOW GAS BUT MAYBE A LOW BATTERY ARE SOME OF THE REASONS. WHEN YOU PUSH THE BIKE IT IS LIKE TURNING THE MOTOR OVER. THE SAME WAY IT DOES WHEN IT IS STARTED NORMALLY. START OFF WITH THE BIKE IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH IT. YOU WANT TO GET SOME SPEED UP SO THAT WHEN YOU GET READY TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT WILL SPIN THE MOTOR MORE TIMES THAN IT WOULD AT A SLOW SPEED. OR IT CAN BE DONE WITH JUST HOLDING IN ON THE CLUTCH AND LEAVING IT IN GEAR AND HAVING SOMEONE ELSE PUSH YOU. PREFER TO LEAVE IT IN SECOND GEAR SO THAT WHEN IT STARTS IT WILL NOT DO A WHELLY AND YOU CRASH. THE HIGHER THE GEAR THE BETTER. BUT WHEN YOU PUSH IT AND IT GETS UP TO A GOOD SPEED JUST LET OUT ON THE CLUTCH AND GIVE IT JUST ALITTLE GAS. WHEN IT STARTS PULL THE CLUTCH IN SO THAT IT DOES'NT TAKE OFF ON YOU. BUT ALL OF THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BECAUSE WHEN THE MOTOR TURNS IT TURNS THE POINTS OR DISTRIBUTER WHICH EVER THE BIKE HAS AND THAT IS WHAT SUPPLIES THE BIKE WITH THE FIRE (SPARK) IT NEEDS TO IGNITE THE GAS IN THE CYLINDERS. I.E THE MOTOR MUST TURN TO PROVIDE THE BIKE WITH FIRE OR SPARK. JUST LIKE A CAR MOTOR. ONCE IT STARTS YOUR GOOD TO GO. BUT IF IT DOES NOT THE YOU NEED TO CHECK FOR NO GAS, SEE IF IT IS GETTING FIRE BUY PULLING ONE OF THE PLUGS OUT OF THE BIKE WHILE LEAVING THE PLUG WIRE HOOKED TO IT AND CRANKING THE BIKE OVER TO SEE IF YOU ARE GETTING A SPARK. MAY NEED TO SET THE POINTS ON THE BIKE TO THE RIGHT GAP, BAD CONNECTION OF THE BATTERY CABLES. THERE ARE ALOT OF REASONS IT WON'T START. HOPE THIS WAS SOME HELP |
