In this video I show you guys how to push start your bike if it has a low battery or for some reason it just doesn't want to turn over. Sorry about the brightness, I am always fighting with my lighting and I seem to go from too dark to too light in all my videos haha.

  • does this work for a suzuki S50 to?

  • @TheGabrielFranklin It should work for any bike with a manual transmission. Be sure to read some of the other users comments for more tips and tricks.

  • so where you in 2nd gear when you was pushing it?

  • @TheGabrielFranklin I was in 2nd, but the clutch was in until I released it and pressed the starter.

  • Some people dont have a kill switch so this helps a lot newer bikes dont have kill or fuel switches

  • @RKAOS1230 oh wow no kill switch? I thought this was a safety feature all bikes had. So is the only way to turn off the bike by turning the key?

  • always bump start while your on the bike otherwise your bike can go down the road without you.

  • This also works for cars! But you don't have to press the starter.

  • thanks man! had a flat and couldn't figure out how to start it, watched your vid went back downstairs and bam! off and running! nice one!

  • yeah you dont need to push the starter in fact dont you may fuck your bike up the whole point to push start it is to do what the starter cant and that is to turn the motor.

  • You can usually do 1st gear with cruisers, only 2nd for crotchrockets because those bikes have more torque. Right?

  • awesum man ...it worked ...

    thnx

  • I do this with my 85 Kdx 80 the kickstarter is stripped so

  • is BRAVA good one or not ?

  • Thanks man it worked
