I appreciate the sound effect. The sounds you made to illustrate the battery dying is exactly the noise mine makes
Yeah bro same 😂
Just replaced the battery and its brand newwww lets goo
For real, making sounds is great. No joke
Thank you so much for explaining everything! I was finally able to get my bike started after a day of not being able to crank it. You rock!!
SRKCycles, I'm posting this just to say thank you. I'm a novice rider, and could not figure out why my bike wouldn't start; however, I searched and found your video. You taught me to hold the clutch and lift the kick stand to start my bike. After having the bike for three days, I finally got to fire up. Bro, you are awesome!!! God Bless.
Exactly what happened to me.
Its always the guys who have the motorcycle in their house that know what tf they are talking about lol
🤣
Video quality has come a long way, nice work guys. This still helped big thanks.
Youre battery isnt nessessarily dead if nothing comes on when you got to start it. It could be your main fuse also.
Yep had the exact thing happen to me a month ago
And also if your solenoid starter isn't grounded, everything does come on, but you wont get nothing..your solenoid has to be grounded.
Aaron Conrad Vleck so bike starter switch does not turn or click what so ever. I have to pop the side case off on right side and pop the screwdriver in to spark then booom it starts up ... what’s do you think is wrong/to fix
@@aaronconradvleck786 what do you mean by grounded brother my r6 is giving me hell rn i just changed stator rectifier batter and fuel pump and starter selenoid
no lights nothing ?? is completly dead
I wish I could bring my f****** bike in the house!
@@AFY-nd5nr kik e
Its stinks it up alot.
@Ryan Phelps lol
That’s their shop
Helps if its efi.less gas smell
Thanks man. My guy started his bike because of this video and he is out riding! Thanks again for the helpful info. It wasnt easy for him to admit this video helped him to resolve the problem. It was the clutch information towards the end of the video that was the problem keeping the bike from starting. He forgot to check that. Have a good day.
And even when you think your battery is ok, there's a difference between dead battery and bad battery. Check it's voltage DC and when you turn over the bike (crank it) make sure the voltage doesn't go below a specification from your bike's manual for the ignition. A bad battery will power your lights but not produce enough voltage to run through all your electrical components.
Thanks exactly the answer I was looking for. 👍
😀. Because of your video I just realized that my Harley never had a problem with the switch. It was placed on 1st gear and that’s why it wouldn’t start. 🤦🏽♂️. Thank you.
🤣🤣🤣
😅 no way
Im just going to dislike this without going into detail.. just as much detail as this video goes into
Dude thank you! Especially considering that sometimes when a bike won’t crank it can be a myriad of things and not just one thing, it helps when all the possibilities are explained. Thanks man.
I appreciate this video. I’m new into motorcycles and had a starting problem. This helped me fix the problem.
Yo I want to say that I appreciate you breaking down the terms and definition as well as those 3 examples. Thanks to you, all I had to do is recharge my battery. I did it myself and saved some good money!
Fixed. My issue (recurring issue other months). battery keeps dying. I actually problem solved this a month ago when i stator died or wasn't charging. Replaced stator and haven't had an issue since today, today was a dead battery. Battery is 2yrs old so i may look into getting it replaced. Came home charged battery "again" seems like I'm charging battery every other month. Put battery back in bike, BAM started np. batteries been giving me ALOT of grief lately. i will be replacing batter in the next 2 months or so.-Great video! Still helping ppl 7yrs later.
loved this explanation, from Kenya
Dang you saved my life! Second scenario, just like you described. New battery and everything is back to normal. Thanks!
OMG, thank you so much! Your video got me and the Triumph on the road!
Best explanation on TH-cam. Straight to the point and understandable
Huge help man glad I found your channels last week!!
About 5 minutes in a free editing program would do wonders for this vid. Pretty good still though
Very helpful. I've made all those mistakes in the heat of the moment. Usually got it started. Thank you.
Thanks for the advice, I wanted to get stranded anyway
What happens if you've been riding the bike for over an hour then it loses power then dies. Battery is dead. Maybe the stator or voltage regulator? How do I know?
THANK YOU... CLUTCH SAFETY SWITCH... HOLD IT IN... FIRED UP!!!!
Starter solenoid, stator/ alternator, regulator rectifier, ht lead or starter motor also worth checking even if dash lights up.
Ray Tokens THANK YOU!!!!! I KNOW TO CHECK MY CLUTCH AND KILL SWITCH AND KICKSTAND!!! IF I'M LOOKING UP ON EBAY THAT MY BIKE WON'T START AND THEN I'VE ALREADY WENT OVER THE BASICS!!! I'M LOOKING FOR SOLENOID BAD OR MY STARTER IS BAD HOW ABOUT THIS ONE... YOUR START SWITCH IS BAD.
Could add the situation where the alternator is not charging the battery. Check alternator cable.
Alternator ??? O o
Thanks brother. Like others, your noise was the one mine made. Time for new battery.
Great video, thank you! One think I had happen with my Road Glide is that the FOB battery was bad and while all the electrical systems would switch on, it would never turn over, and I saw the 'key' warning sign. Adding a new FOB battery resolved it for me
I have a v star 250 and the other day it took me like 5 minutes of the bike not starting. Turns out it was on 1st gear with the kick stand down :D
Andrew Gabriel lol, new rider here, and did that same thing, and it was a new bike too. It drove me nuts that it wouldn't start. Lol
I dont have a motorcycle but my grandpaw owns one.
dillon that doesn't add anything to the convo
Dillon Noe Hahaha!
Yep, kick stand was down. Cheers 👍👍
The sound effects had me dying 😭, but very accurate
Yea I have like a beginners bike venom x22 125 and it wouldn’t even crank forgot that it has to be in neutral but since I dropped it sometimes it fucks up and stays on first when parked so thanks for the reminder
Thank you for the sound advice.
Thank you sir 👍, we appreciate your time and videos.
My bike does exactly that slow winding sound but not clicking. My light is still on so don't think battery is the problem though? And also - even if battery was dead, i should be able to kickstart it or run with it and kick it into gear, no? But that doesnt work either... Any other ideas?
Did you ever solve this?
@@funkymonkey7202 It was the battery - though more than that it was the "joys of modern engineering". Really didn't make much sense but i realized at some point that the connection on the battery was really touchy. Well, something like that - my guess was that some cable somewhere in there was made out of some crappy Chinese metal that simply didn't conduct electricity very well, cause i had very random on-and-off issues with that. (it's a non-scientific explanation but the only one that made sense to my brain, it was weird, really). Over time i guess that worn out the battery. Actually the battery itself wasn't bad - it still held power fine, but just swapping it for a new one nonetheless immediately helped. Though still, i always had some odd non-sensical issues, hence i really think there must've been some chinesium metal in there somewhere... Still the bike took me halfway around the globe, i had my fun :)
@@EtheriumSky oh I was going to clean my carb but it could be battery
@@EtheriumSky So I can’t just try to jumpstart it I have to fully replace the battery?
@@funkymonkey7202 You can try jumpstarting/charging the battery - but for me that was a one-time solution. The next day i had the same issue. And it was perplexing - cause I was sure that kicking the bike into gear while going downhill or just kickstarting it should do the trick even without the battery (what's the point of the kickstart otherwise...) but on that bike at least the kickstarter was useless if battery had an issue. Again - i think it was just some shitty chinese components somewhere in the bike that caused the problems - even several mechanics i asked about it just scratched their heads, cause everything seemed like it should all work but well... it didn't.
So yeah, i don't know if you have the same issue or not, but especially if it's a cheaper/newer bike, like mine was, if there's a chance of some cheap/chinese electric components inside - I'd say it might be some "illogical" problem like that. Changing the battery would be a start, to see if that solves anything for you.
And even before that - try just disconnecting the battery, cleaning the connectors and re-connecting it. Strangely even that much helped when i had that problem first few times. There was no rust or anything on my connectors but again - i think something somewhere in the electric connections wasn't conducting electricity very well, and sometimes just messing with it for a moment made it "fix" itself, even if just temporarily...
The tip over sensor on my Harley routine is, turn on than off, turn back on, turn off the hazards, turn back off. Than attempt to start it again. I dropped mine in sand, boy was that fun, riding my Harley on the beach lmao.
What kind of bike is this?
Try CPR on the battery before, You decide that it kecked the bucket 😋
Made my day. Neutral option worked for me 🙏
Thanks you for getting right to the point
Just put a new stator in my gilera runner but it won't start..
Old man comes to tell me my bike had been knocked over the other day so he picked it up for me.
There was oil in the air filter, gotta check the spark plug & carb might also need a clean !
You have done an excellent job
ahhh thank you! I have a sportster as my daily and it would not start for the life of me this morning, I didn’t ride her for 3-4 days due to heavy rain and when I went to fire her up she would choke up and sound off this loud clicky noise, I started panicking and didn’t know what to do, turns out my bike has that thing you mentioned that you need to hold the clutch in to start, thanks, you made my week! 👍🏽
Nice bike! Great video, thank you ;)
I'm going to look through the comments to see if it was mentioned but you missed it, what if all those things are true you pull in the clutch you hit the start button and nothing happens and you have to start running again and again and again and then it starts, what causes that? My guess is the starter
see i knew the batery was dead, just making sure, before i try and start it up again...THANKS MAN!
Second option in option 1 is a blown main fuse too I've experienced.
What would blow the fuse and how can I tell
@@migue.7818 Usually a wire touching something that it shouldn't be touching and you can tell by either looking at the fuse and seeing if the element inside it is broken or if you turn the ignition key and and no lights come on in the dash then that's a blown main fuse.
Took apart the battery and didn't realise the kill switch was on until I saw this...
You're a life saver!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Very, very, helpfull, saved me $$$ and time , and a headache, subscribed!
The starter-solenoid might also be bad which does not send electrical current to the starter. Therefore, the bike will not start.
Get out of work and my bike cranks but doesn’t turn over. After about 10 min of messing it it. I was able to start it with the throttle held down. It would stall with the choke off. So I had to give it throttle the whole time for it to stay on and rode it 20 miles home. I get home and start looking for what’s wrong. I get it barely started and start checking the bike out. I look at the petcock and it’s off…
I tested my bike battery, and it show good. Can the amps be weak at the same time, that it refuses to turn over the bike?
Could it be because I left my key in the engine!??? Even though it was off. Could that kill the battery??
You still didn’t cover why it wouldn’t start if it turns over normally but won’t fire up.
So in the last scenario after checking all those things. Kill switch closed loop, in neutral, kickstand up, clutch in, and bike still doesn't crank. I have a yamaha v star 650 and the lights come on, gauges come on, no check engine light, but when I push start button nothing happens. If I keep trying I'll maybe get it crank once but then nothing.
Hey Sean I live watching your videos you show me alot was having problems with bike not starting ...ended up being crossed wire in switch
What a lot of BS.. what happens when it's a new fully charged battery and still dead and
What about when the bike cranks like normal but won’t fire up. And if it does, it sounds like it’s bogged down and throttle has no affect
I can tell you one big cause of motorcycles night starting.
after market parts, and modifications to the engine/carburetors/fuel injection/airbox..
call your grandma she'll explain it to you way faster.
Honda Varadero XL 125cc - Turned key and dials and lights in dash on. Nothing though when key turned to start engine and battery 12.45amp before starting. After 2 mins it was 11.35 amp so presume battery needs replacing so ordered new one. I had been starting it up letting it run and not going anywhere but learnt wrong thing to do so might have used up the battery life.
If your battery is low enouhh to run accesories but not crank just roll down a hill and drop the clutch once your at like 10 mph and she will start if your bike is carburated you can do this if its fully dead
Do you have a part 2? My bike was running then went to start next time and nothing. Lights and gauges work bike not turning over. It will normally start in any gear without clutch engaged and kickstand down. Only way it starts is pushing and popping clutch. I cleaned the contacts on the ignition and kill switch and checked fuses
Thank you! Very helpful! Mine is the 2nd example x.x
Lights come on but it just makes one click sound and the lights go off when I press the start button
ever figure that out,i got the same problem,my bike was turning over before with a jump now it just makes one heavy click
My bike worked fine one day and the mext day i try to start it, i turn the key, everything is dead, no light no display, does not start, checked the Battery, Charged it and tried to start it again, nothing, but then i pushstarted it and then it worked, but when i turn it off i have to push start again
Option #1A: Main fuse is blown. Check that before you buy a new battery, because you're gonna be PISSED if you do and it doesn't start your bike!
What do you do if your fuse is blown. So I just bought a 600cc Honda shadow 06 the owner started it multiple times no problem. Now I took it home and rode it a little bit and it wouldn’t run after like the next day. So I thought it was the battery and bought a new one, so when I go to put the key in there’s no noises or anything but the lights on everything come on and when I pull the clutch and start it there’s a single click and all the lights dim off. And it doesn’t do anything for like the next 20 minutes I’m new to riding
@@viprz5444 It's not the fuse if the lights come on. Sounds like a power problem, so battery or wiring. I can only guess, but your symptoms are pretty definitive.
@@fun_ghoul well now there’s nothing, I charged the battery and nothing so I know it’s not battery. I’m thinking maybe connections are pretty fed up should I get new battery cables?
@@viprz5444 You should check out some Honda forums, and present your quandary there. Whatever it is, I bet it's happened to someone before.
@@viprz5444 wondering if you figured it out bro, i have an 08 honda shadow and similar scenario.. i bought it almost 2 months ago (never rode a bike i just went head first into it as i want to learn) it was garage kept and never rode much it the previous owner. i had someone drive it home to me so it worked fine but when i tried to learn i stalled a few times and basically ended up killing the battery . i got a brand new one finally this week (bikes been sitting since basically) but although all the light turn on again, it won’t start.. i got it to run maybe twice but died out seconds later. it’s just makes a clicking sound now if i hold the start button. idk what it could be
What if you turn the key on but you don't hear that prime whine before you press the start button
Can anyone tell me which make and model this bike is? Thanks.
If your Bike won’t start it’s cause you need to tell it you love ❤️ it and cuss it until it starts. If that doesn’t work kick it a few times and bam 💥 she will start. Just like my wife.💯💯💯💯💯💯
bike won't turn over immediately after being turned off?
If you bought a used bike, and don’t know how old the battery is make sure you make sure the positive and negative terminal screws are tightened down.
I almost spent $100 on a new battery I didn’t need because that was the issue. 😂😂
Now I have an extra $100 to spend on a quad lock
Yes the starter fuse is what it could be.
So I just bought a shadow 06 600cc. Owner was starting it no problem. I brought it home rode it a little bit but then I thought the battery was dead so I bought a new one and now when I try and put the key in the lights come on but no noises when I put the engine button on and when I try to STSRT it up there’s a single click and the lights completely dim there’s a single click sounding like it’s from either starter or fuse
Thanks man, battery died 50k's from home out in the bush.
Thank God I could roll start it.

Hi, my bike just refuses to start after I changed the blinkers on it … checked all the fuses , switches , I even tried to bridge the starter relay with a screwdriver and then it was cranking but wont fire up. Any ideas ? Thanks
My bike is turning over, but its not firing it up, what's the problem?
2009 Street Bob. Turn key, put kill switch to run, headlight comes on, oil light and neutral light come on, fuel injector cycles. Hit start button... nothing at all. Battery tested at HD dealership, says it’s a good battery. They said maybe relays? Bought proper relays, will install but is that the answer I’m looking for?
I do and check everything correctly and it’s all perfect but when I press the start up button it just cranks but never turns on
I got the number 2 situation, bump start it and its good, switch it off and won't start again. I think I need my battery replaced.
I do have the second one is possible because is cold and is been sitting for a month?
Does this apply on Honda Wave 100?
Bike ran great parked it now i turn the key on hit the start button and theres zero anything. All lights still come on checked battery it has 100% charge none of the switches are tripped hasnt fallen over
My bike turn on, killswitch on but went i press start button if didt do anything..
I turn the key and absolutely nothing. It used to make a noise. I checked the voltage and it is 9v is this dead battery?
My bike can't start when it's it gear😢😢 ... Why and what's the problem
1:25 me literally
Still figuring it out. Either battery, Starter Relay or worse case the starter itself...
Got a brand new battery still no starter. No I am on the relay.
The tip over sensor on the CBR is behind the speedometer.
Sean, this exactly what is going on with me. But I checked my battery with a voltmeter and it said 12 volts. Would I be getting a reading even with a dead battery???
Nevermind, I should have just watched the whole video. You answered my question. 🤣🤣🤣
4 minutes and 33 seconds of nap time I will never get back!!!
Still none of those sensors were checked
My f4i wont fire u0p.. it was riding fine to work then boom it wont start. Nothing to killswitch or relay
I brought a battle 3 months ago, I dropped it and haven’t ride it for a month I came out today to start it and nothing is happening no lights or noises, I used a battery booster that didn’t work and I used my car it still didn’t turn. What could that be.
I have an 88 Honda Shadow vt800c. I dropped it on its left side for maybe 30 seconds till I could pick it back up. It was leaking a lot of gas during this time. Picked it back up but it now won't start. All the electrical work is fine. I have tried to start it several times but nothing fires. It turns over and there are puffs of air coming out the exhaust but it won't fire. It sounds the same as when it normally starts. I've hooked it up to my trickle charger and have tried to start it several times now. I know most carb bikes leak fuel when in their left side and that I likely flooded the motor. Im not sure how to fix that though. I've let it sit overnight and tried to start it again this morning but nothing happened other than what I've said. Also I thought it might just be out of gas but I refilled the tank and still nothing.
Have you tried bleeding the carburetor? I have a Chinese dirt bike. Whenever I drop it, it won't start. Fuel, I'm told has flooded an area in the carburetor. There is a screw on the side of the carb. Once you open this, if this is the problem, petrol will come out of an overflow nozzle on the side of the carb. This slows after about 5 seconds. Tighten the flat head screw again and it usually lets the bike start. I was shown this by a Chinese farmer. Handy trick
What if you hear the starter spinning but its not turning motor or firing?
Thank you
My bike pops but doesnt start. It was super low on oil and i filled it and got home. Now it wont start. It just pops periodically.
Did anyone find out what bike that is, i think it looks real nice, many people asked but got no
answer, can someone please tell me ?
Hi, what about if it takes a few tries to start? It goes with the nynyny sound and after a couple of time you try it starts. What could be the issues?
