Look for Loose Wires
Another seeming no-brainer is checking electrical connectors to see that everything is plugged in. Electrical issues often escape riders because they aren’t always visible, but manually checking the connectors can help you spot a problem that wouldn’t otherwise reveal itself.
If you suspect something other than the battery is the culprit, especially if you’ve just swapped the battery for a new one, it’s also worth looking at your battery connector cables. It’s possible your new battery’s wiring is incorrect, making your non-start a quick fix once you tighten the cables to the terminals.

Weak Battery
One of the most common issues is the engine not turning over. A good place to start troubleshooting this is to check the battery. You can use a multimeter or voltmeter to check the voltage on your battery, which should read 12.6 - 12.8 V. If you find that the voltage is too low, that means the battery doesn’t have enough charge to start your bike. You’ll need to charge the battery or maybe even replace it if it’s dead. When you try to start your motorcycle, check the voltage. If a fully charged battery drops below 11.5 volts, then you’ll need to replace it.

Confirm the Kill Switch is Off
Not every rider uses their kill switch with regularity, but if you have used it recently, it’s possible the engine cutoff switch is still activated. Either that or someone else flicked it, or you did it by accident—either way, it’s worth a quick glimpse, as the switch remaining in the on position will prevent the motorcycle from starting.

Ensure the Fuel Valve is Set to “On”
For motorcycles with fuel valves (read: non-fuel injected models), having the setting in the wrong place can keep your bike from starting up. Make sure the fuel valve is turned to the “on” position and be patient for a few seconds until the carburetor float bowls fill.

Confirm There’s Gas in the Tank
A basic pre-trip check is seeing whether you have gas in the tank, but it’s something riders tend to overlook. Especially if your gas gauge reports a full tank, you might not think to check. Keep in mind that gauges can malfunction, so consider jostling your bike and listening for the slosh of gas in the tank before jumping to other potential problems.
If you can confirm there’s gasoline in your bike, see if the fuel pump is operational (if the motorcycle has one), and if there’s a carburetor, see if there’s gas making its way there, too.

Engage the Clutch
It’s usually a no-brainer for experienced riders, but for newbies, remembering to engage the clutch can mean the difference between a relaxing ride and a frustrating trip to the shop. Many bikes must have the clutch in before they will start—even when you’re in neutral.
There’s also the possibility that your bike’s clutch switch has been damaged, and you can try “pumping” the clutch a few times to see if that helps reset it. You can get around the clutch switch, but long term, you’ll need another solution (and probably a clutch replacement).

Put the Motorcycle in (the Right) Gear
Depending on the motorcycle, you might need to not only engage the clutch but also have the transmission in neutral to get started. If you’re new to the bike you’re having trouble with, switching to neutral and engaging the clutch can be a valuable troubleshooting step (and save you potential embarrassment).

Product Reviews:

I’m going to be brutally honest. I showed up in Pasadena, where Rider Magazine was being given the opportunity to ride the new Arch KRGT-1, with low expectations. That’s probably not fair, but it’s the truth. I’m jaded and cynical. I’ve ridden a lot of bikes, sat through a lot of technical presentations and talked to a lot of engineers and designers. There’s so much that goes into building a motorcycle from the ground up — one that not only looks good but functions well — that frankly I didn’t expect what I saw as a movie star’s pet project would amount to much of anything. (Keanu Reeves is a co-founder of Arch Motorcycle, along with designer and builder Gard Hollinger.) Well, I was wrong.

First impressions, that the Arch feels like a cross between a Jesse James chopper and a BMW roadster, gradually go away as we hit the curves and learn the bike is solid, isn’t going to do anything dastardly, and nothing’s going to fall off.

The list of £90,000 production bikes is short enough before you start addi
The list of £90,000 production bikes is short enough before you start adding any other stipulations into the mix. And if the first of them is to deliver a ride that doesn’t leave you spending the same sum again at the sadistic whims of your local osteopath, then the list gets shorter still. But there is at least one choice. The Arch KRGT-1 may have been cracking asphalt Stateside since 2014, but the newest incarnation is now available on UK soil – and if the shock of the price tag hasn’t already given you palpitations, then riding it will. Preconceptions have a funny way of proving themselves accurate – but not this time. You might expect it to suffer surging fuelling woes, a soggy chassis and spine-compressing suspension. But it doesn’t. £90k custom bikes are usually rolling art installations that are torturous in motion – but the Arch combines bling with an unexpectedly accomplished ride. Yes, it’s got faults. No, it’s not really ‘worth’ £90k (although you try building a clone cheaper) – but it is imbued with an intangible specialness that deserves to get the super-rich reaching for the build options list.

I’ve just swung a leg over the most exclusive production motorcycle we’ve ever tested: the $85,000 Arch KRGT-1. It’s a made-to-order performance cruiser, with unapologetic looks to match that hefty price tag. But do Arch owners Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger actually know what they’re doing—or is this just a vanity project for a Hollywood star? And how much bike do you get for Tesla Model X money? I flew from Cape Town to LA to find out.
