1. Common reasons why motorcycles cannot start

According to discussions on locomotive forums, short video platforms and maintenance experts, the main reasons why locomotives cannot start can be summarized into the following categories:

2. Step-by-step troubleshooting and solutions

1. Battery inspection

If there is no response when starting, check the battery first:

• Use a multimeter to check the voltage (normal value is above 12.6V);
• Check whether the electrode is oxidized (can be cleaned with sandpaper);
• Try to start with power, if successful, the battery needs to be replaced.

2. Fuel system inspection

If the engine runs but does not fire:

• Make sure there is oil in the fuel tank and check whether the oil line is blocked;

3. Emergency skills that are hotly discussed on the Internet

The “original methods” that have been popular on short video platforms recently need to be used with caution:

• heating method: Pour the battery with hot water (temporarily improves performance, but may damage the battery);
• Cart start: In second gear, the clutch is pushed and then suddenly released (requires certain skills, not recommended for novices).

4. Suggestions on preventive measures

According to the live broadcast content of motorcycle maintenance expert @老zhou修车, it is recommended when parking for a long time:

1. Start once a week and run for 10 minutes;
2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery (if parked for more than 1 month);
3. Use fuel stabilizer (ethanol gasoline deteriorates easily).

Summary: 90% of the problems of motorcycles failing to start are concentrated in the three major systems of battery, fuel and spark plug. Through structured troubleshooting, problems can be quickly located and blind repairs can be avoided. If the solution by yourself does not work, it is recommended to contact a professional technician in time.
