This morning I tried to start my motorcycle but the kick-starter failed. It was idle for about a month but it was riding fine before that . My motorcycle doesn't have an electric starter function.

The fuel tank has more than a liter of petrol, last I checked. And, the battery is 3 years old.

With kick-start being the only option , how can I start my motorcycle , so that I can take it to the nearest mechanic for repair ?

I own a BAJAJ CT100, which is a 100cc motorcycle.

  • Turn the key in the ignition to 'On'
  • Hold the clutch lever
  • Engage first or second gear
  • Let the motorcycle gain speed (either go downhill or push start)
  • Let go of the clutch lever. The motorcycle should sputter to life

You can use a drill to start most pull start or kick start engines. be sure not to let go. It's not the safest idea but for a temporary use it will get you home

It is very likely a battery issue. Put your battery on a battery tender and trickle charge it back to full.

Edit: Make sure you remove it from your bike first.
