The bike is not just a vehicle, but it has become an integral part of modern life. According to a 2020 report, 75% of the total vehicles in India are two-wheelers. Often the motorcycle stops suddenly while moving on the road, and this is a common problem. This problem can occur due to many reasons, such as running out of fuel, spark plug failure, fuel pump failure, or any other technical fault. However, the bike should be shown to the mechanic when it breaks down. But many times the bike stops at a place where mechanics are not found nearby.

Usually, there are three reasons for the bike to stop, which can be easily fixed by checking yourself. To put it simply, some things should be checked immediately when the vehicle stops, so that you can start the vehicle again and go on your journey. Let us know about this in detail in this article...

What is a reserve switch?
Every bike has a reserve switch, in which some amount of oil is preserved. The job of this reserve switch is that when the fuel tank of your bike is almost empty, you can ride the bike for some more distance. In such a situation, two situations arise here-
First- If the vehicle stops suddenly, it is possible that your vehicle has run out of fuel, in such a situation you can turn on the reserve switch and go back some distance.
Second- Many times the vehicle stops despite having fuel, in such a situation it is possible that the reserve switch of the vehicle is on. The vehicle can also stop due to the reserve switch of the vehicle being on. In such a situation, you can turn off the reserve switch of the vehicle and start the vehicle again.

Spark Plug
If the vehicle has stopped suddenly and the reserve switch is also off and there is fuel in the vehicle, then in such a situation the spark plug is very important to start the engine of the motorcycle. If the spark plug is damaged, the motorcycle will not start. You can start the vehicle again by removing and cleaning the spark plug.

Bad self-start
Many times the vehicle does not start due to a bad battery or a bad self-start. In such a situation, you can start the vehicle by kicking it.
