How To Start and Move a Motorcycle


I have just completed an article that gives step-by-step procedures to move a motorcycle.


This article gives a 10-step procedure to move a motorcycle without the need to start it.


The article also gives a 10-step procedure to move a motorcycle by pressing the start button, putting it in gear, and moving it under its own power.


These are procedures for people unfamiliar with the operation of motorcycles. Examples might be people who have to move a motorcycle that's stored in a garage and new riders who have just bought a bike and have little experience in its operation.


Of course, the movement of a motorcycle is best left to its experienced owner but sometimes the owner is not available such as while stationed overseas in a military operation.


These two procedures, illustrated with pictures, help to present the basics of motorcycle operation as well.


Steps given here are done at your own risk. There is always the chance that the motorcycle will fall over or you will not be able to control it.
