When the motorbike is difficult to start in winter, the driver can use the kick starter, the wind lever or turn the ignition key several times to make it easier to start.
Reasons why motorbikes are difficult to start in winter
In winter, motorbike users in the North often have difficulty starting their motorbikes in the morning. This phenomenon is common on old motorbike models that have been used for many years.
The main cause of this situation is low weather temperature, which reduces fuel evaporation and makes it difficult for the engine to reach the ideal operating temperature range.

Low temperatures cause the fuel-air mixture to not be rich enough, and the engine does not reach the proper temperature to start.
In addition, when the weather is cold and foggy, the high humidity will cause the air in the engine to condense into small water droplets in the carburetor and fuel line.
Not only does it make the engine difficult to start, the condensed water can also clog some fuel lines or affect the ignition system and quickly create carbon deposits at the spark plugs.
How to fix a motorbike that is hard to start in cold weather
For manual transmission vehicles, to overcome the difficulty of starting the vehicle, the driver can use the kick lever and the wind lever (le wire). When starting the vehicle after a long night, the driver should not turn the key immediately but should press the starter lever a few times.
Then, turn on the ignition key and pull the cable out to help start the vehicle more easily. At this time, the driver only needs to use the starter lever to kick a few times for the vehicle to start. Once the vehicle has started, the driver should keep the throttle steady to help the engine quickly reach the ideal temperature and then pull the cable back to its original position.
For scooters, because they do not use a carburetor, there is no clutch. Therefore, you need to turn on the ignition key and pull the throttle a few times before pressing the starter. This method helps the mixture of air and gasoline fill the pipe, down to the combustion chamber, making the engine easier to start.

A note when starting the car, if the engine does not start after 2 to 3 tries, wait about 5 to 10 seconds before starting again. This will help the starting system not to overheat and reduce its lifespan.
Users should also note that before starting the engine, they should turn off all headlights or turn signals. This is to increase the power supply to the starter. Because the battery is the main power source, when the headlights or turn signals are on, it will reduce the power supply, thereby reducing the capacity of the starter, making it difficult to start the vehicle.
Experts also recommend regular cleaning and maintenance of parts such as spark plugs, carburetors, and injectors to help start the vehicle easier and significantly reduce fuel consumption.
