Motorcycle Repair

Determine if the Petcock is Clogged 
One potential issue that might be keeping your motorcycle from starting up is a clogged petcock. The petcock is a fuel control valve. It controls the gas flow between off, on, and reserve settings. Clogged petcocks are a common issue that riders often bring up in forums. 
A minuscule screen helps keep gunk out of the petcock, but corrosion and bits of stray material can cause flow issues. Rattling the petcock a bit can help dislodge any blockages, but replacement or a deep cleaning might be necessary to get your bike running again. 

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. 

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). 

Check for Blown Fuses 
Just like a car or truck, motorcycles have fuses, and they can blow the same as in any other vehicle. Keeping a fuse kit on hand is helpful so you can replace any blown fuses with one that has the same amperage. 
If fuses continue to blow after you replace them, you likely have a more serious electrical issue somewhere in the bike’s wiring. 

Set the Choke Properly 
For carbureted motorcycles, you might need to set your choke or mixture enricher to match the ambient/engine temperature. Another common oversight, this issue can crop up in extreme weather conditions, or when conditions take a sudden turn you haven’t accounted for.

I absolute love their motorcycles. I own 2 now and they've been nothing but dependable rides for me. CCW's support staff is by far the best and most responsive I've ever dealt with. Can't say enough great things about these guys!!

Just picked up a CCW bike and brought it back to Vermont. I love the bike. In addition, the CCW team was impressively hands-in and supportive in helping me; the company is growing and does not yet have a dealer where I live. That meant I had lots of questions and needed help with paperwork, etc. They were great. CCW's competitive advantage is its design. It sources from Asia and selects parts so that the bikes can be maintained by riders and be affordable. I looked at the Honda 300F - another nice bike- but it could not compete with CCW's design. Highly recommended.

I've had normal maintenance and common problems such as clutch cable breaking but mine is almost 6 years old. Imo great bikes especially for the price. If there is an issue CCW and Pit go out of their way to correct it. They have second to none customer service. I say two thumbs way up. Owner since 2011 and well over 12k miles speaks volumes. I'll get another one for sure.
