Bump start
From scoot.net
Bump starting is used when a manual transmission scooter is not able to be started with the kickstarter.
- Turn the ignition ON.
- Turn the fuel tap ON, ensuring there is fuel in the tank.
- Engage the clutch by depressing the clutch lever.
- Shift into 2nd gear.
- Run with the bike while the clutch is engaged.
- When going at a good speed, jump on the bike.
- Disengage the clutch (release the clutch lever), at the same time giving the scooter a bit of gas with the throttle.
Repeat if necessary.
