10 Simple Reasons Your Motorcycle Won't Start & Battery is Good 

Extremely to the point with information. Nowadays to get one piece of information you have to listen to a four or five minute of video. I really applaud this gentleman for getting to the information fast, being descriptive, knowledgeable, informative and right to the point! Thanks for great information and leaving your ego out of the way!

Got my dads old Yamaha SR250 and I'm planning to get a motorcycle license this year. Just for fun I tried to start it, but it just hums and no running. Finally a video that tries to explain some faults. Will be looking into it!

Here's a short story maybe you can help diagnose but I was riding to school and didn't have time to go to the gas station so my bike was near E on the gas gauge. After class was over, I went to the gas station and filled it to the full line. About 5 minutes later my bike shut off while riding on the road. I still had power. It cranks but won't start the engine. I went home and spent about a month trying to figure out the problem. It's not fuel related because I tested the fuel pressure at 43 psi and 10 seconds 400-500 mL of fuel comes out. In the manual 220 mL was the minimum. I change the fuel pump filter and gas is cleaned. I hooked up an external pump and that didn't solve the no start problem. I changed the fuel injectors filter (basket) and tested for spray. I changed the spark plugs and injectors. I see the spark plug has a spark when firing. That means the stator and crankshaft sensor is working? I heard about the low oil sensor which prevents engine starting so I changed the oil and oil filter. I have a battery charger I used to hook up so it's not battery related. Could it be a bad ECU? That cost about $500 for a used one and I don't got the money for that. Also I'm looking at camshaft sensor next and will use a multimeter to test that. I can crank the bike but it keeps cranking over and over again. The bike won't start but it sounds like it wants too.

Thank you so much!! It was the killswitch being funky. A couple switches back and forth and good as new! Appreciate it 😮

On my Kaw 1000, changed the starter motor two to three years ago, few days ago it was taking a few turns to start to fire up, battery is on a tickle charger over night, today i swapped the battery over to an older one, and tried again to start bike, nothing, put newer battery back in and still nothing only the starter motor cranking over, so thinking starter motors had it, and what a joy it is to replace, so that's me on my hands and knees for most of the morning tomorrow if it doesn't rain !

great video deserves more views

I have a question. My bike isn't starting. When I turn the key, everything goes on, lights work. When I try to start the bike, the bike seems to reset and all the meters/check engine stuff does the same when I turn the key. Any ideas?

I turn the key over I hear the fuel pump priming and lights turn on , I took my bike apart and set my battery aside for 2 days on a shelf (wood) what could be the problem no ground?

My new bike Triumph Street Triple 765 RS my 2023 (350km) doesn’t start at first try sometimes. Do you think battery issue?

Hey, have a bike that sat out for quite a while in florida while i was away, got towed, etc. I got it back and it's cranking but won't start, i drained gas and put oil in and replaced battery. The spark plug was changed before i left but that was years ago. I'm going to just get a new one in case, but any other ideas?

Hi I have an MT-125 2015, got a new battery (as old one was dying) and everything is working (bike turns on, indicators, headlight and back light work) however the display/dashboard is not working, just blank like it’s got no power, it was working with the old battery before we changed it however now it doesn’t work with the new or old one, any ideas please? Thankyou

I dropped my 2007 Honda cbr125r on grass going like 10km and now it won’t turn over

I have a braaap 125cc superlite and when I turn the key I just hear a buzzing do you know what this issue could be ? Thank you 🙏

I have a mt-125 the bike will start and then just slowly die and completely stop any help?

I have that Grom clone. It was riding fine though I had stalled it a couple times, but the day after it wouldn't start and I charged the battery as well. I do not know if they have safety switches or anything.

Mine won't start today, this is the 2nd time in a short time. When I jump started the bike first time, it started up immediately after that, now a week or 2 later it happened again. Oil indicator lights up when I turn the key but when I wanna check the oil level of my mt07 I don't see anything, so either it's too full or empty? This is infuriating, I barely ride in the rain, haven't even done wheelies yet and already have to deal with this stuff.

I need help hey so I have a 2014 ninja 300 abs and it won’t start. Some backstory: the bike ran a little shaky but fine then i parked it and let it run for a little bit to see if there was a problem. The bike then died down and shut off but now wont start anymore. I turn the key to on and lights and everything works. I go to start the bike and it cranks and cranks and cranks but doesnt turn over and actually run. I replaced the spark plugs and charged the battery but still nothing. The starter relay was good after i tested it. PS: the bike has been sitting for about 2 weeks outside in the cold and rain so idk if that has caused any more problems. Any ideas on whats wrong with it?

i turn the key and nothing happens, not even a single sound
