What's wrong with the motorcycle not starting?
As a common means of transportation, motorcycles may encounter the problem of not igniting during daily use. In response to the recent hot topic of motorcycle failures on the Internet, this article has compiled common causes and solutions to help car owners quickly troubleshoot problems.
1. Common reasons why motorcycles cannot ignite

| Fault type | Specific performance | probability of occurrence |
|---|---|---|
| battery problem | No response when starting or the dashboard light is dim | 35% |
| fuel system | Insufficient oil or blocked oil line | 25% |
| Ignition system | Spark plug aging or high voltage package failure | 20% |
| mechanical failure | Insufficient cylinder pressure or valve problem | 15% |
| other reasons | Circuit short circuit, ECU failure, etc. | 5% |
2. Detailed investigation steps
1. Check battery status
• Measure voltage (normal value is above 12.6V)
• Check electrodes for oxidation
• Test the starting current (need to be replaced if it is below 100A)
2. Fuel system inspection
| Check items | How to operate |
|---|---|
| Oil quantity confirmation | Observe the fuel gauge or open the fuel tank for inspection |
| oil pump work | Listen to the sound of the oil pump running when igniting |
| Injector status | Remove the spark plug and check whether it is wet |
3. Ignition system diagnosis
• Spark plug inspection: The electrode gap is preferably 0.6-0.8mm
• High voltage package test: secondary coil resistance 5-15kΩ
• Ignition timing verification: special equipment required for testing
3. Seasonal fault analysis
| season | Frequently asked questions | Precautions |
|---|---|---|
| winter | Battery is low, engine oil is solidified | Charge regularly and change engine oil in winter |
| rainy season | The circuit is damp and the spark plug is leaking. | Use waterproof spray and keep dry |
4. Emergency handling methods
1.Cart start method: Engage 2nd gear, squeeze the clutch, push to 5km/h and then release the clutch
2.jump start: Use car battery to assist starting (pay attention to voltage matching)
3.Carburetor models: You can try closing the choke to start
5. Maintenance cost reference
| Maintenance items | Material fee | Labor time fee |
|---|---|---|
| Replace battery | 150-300 yuan | 30 yuan |
| Clean carburetor | 50-100 yuan | 80 yuan |
| Replace spark plug | 20-60 yuan/piece | 20 yuan |
6. Prevention Suggestions
• Start the vehicle at least once a week
• Check battery voltage monthly
• Change engine oil every 5000 kilometers
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery when parked for a long period of time
Through the above system investigation, the cause of more than 90% of motorcycle starting failures can be found. If the problem is still not solved, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel in time to avoid secondary damage caused by improper operation.
