Hi, iam Tom Jackson, No wild parties while I’m gone, mister!
Ah, the thrill of a long motorcycle sit! Starting up that engine and feeling the wind in your hair - there’s nothing quite like it. But before you hit the open road, there are a few things to consider. From packing the right gear to making sure your bike is in top shape, here’s what you need to know before starting your journey.
How Long Can My Motorcycle Sit Without Starting? [Solved]
To keep it in tip-top shape, you’ll need to give it a good cleaning, fill up the tank with fuel stabilizer, and disconnect the battery. Plus, if you can find a spot indoors or cover it up outside that’d be ideal. Otherwise, all that work will have been for naught!
Proper Posture: Make sure you are sitting up straight with your feet firmly planted on the ground and your hands gripping the handlebars.
Ignition: Turn the ignition switch to “on” and press the start button to begin the engine.
Clutch Lever: Pull in the clutch lever while shifting into first gear with your left foot.
Throttle: Slowly twist the throttle with your right hand to increase engine speed and move forward slowly, keeping a steady grip on both handlebars for balance and control.
Brakes: Use both brakes (front and rear) when slowing down or coming to a stop, applying pressure gradually as needed for smooth deceleration without skidding or locking up wheels.
Gear Shifting: Shift gears using your left foot while keeping a steady grip on both handlebars for balance and control; use higher gears when accelerating, lower gears when slowing down or coming to a stop, and neutral gear when stopped at an intersection or parking lot/garage area etc..
Starting a long motorcycle sit can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be! Just take it slow and steady, and you’ll be off in no time. Before you know it, you’ll be cruisin’ down the highway. So don’t sweat it - just hop on and get goin’!
