DAPURPACUID – This component on a motorbike is considered a ‘savior’ when the battery starts to be overwhelmed when starting the engine using the electric button.
In fact, the kick starter component or commonly called the crank is still an option for owners to be able to start the motorbike before using it for activities.
In this modern era, there are quite a few motorcycles that no longer use these components and ‘rely’ entirely on electric starters. For example, on automatic motorcycles.
While some Honda motorcycle lines are still fitted with kick starter components, complementing the electric starter feature. It’s just that sometimes the condition of the electrical system does not support it, so the crank is the way out.
The main dealer of Honda motorcycles in Jakarta – Tangerang, PT Wahana Makmur Sejati (WMS) urges Honda motorcycle owners to pay attention to several important components.
This needs to be done so that the motor can still be turned on and used optimally without any obstacles. Generally, obstacles on motorbikes that are difficult to start and require a kick starter include:
1. Ignition System Problem
The ignition system in motor vehicles requires more attention to the spark plugs and ignition cables (CDI), because these components function to produce fire in the combustion chamber.
2. Motor Valve Stuck
If a component is problematic, the valve cannot open or close perfectly so that fuel does not flow optimally into the engine room.
3. Carburetor Problems
The carburetor has the function of mixing air and fuel in the engine room. If the component is dirty or damaged, the fuel flow will be disrupted.
4. Dirty Air Filter
A dirty air filter will cause the air and fuel mixture to be less than optimal and affect the quality of combustion in the engine room.
5. Weak Motorcycle Battery
A battery or accumulator that is experiencing problems will prevent the electric power from flowing optimally, making it difficult to start the motorbike.
Wahyu Budhi, Training Analyst PT WMS said that the crank or kick starter method can be a solution if there is a problem with the electric starter system of a Honda motorbike.
“Even though it is rarely used, consumers still need to pay attention to this component so that it can still function even in an emergency,” he explained later.
In addition to maintaining the quality and condition of some of these components, you can do some of these tips to prevent the possibility of a difficult-to-start motorbike. Here are the tips:
– Warm up the machine before use
Warming up the engine before use can improve the condition of the engine, ignition and electrical systems and is believed to be more durable.
– Warm up your motorbike regularly
If the motorbike is rarely used, consumers should still warm it up for a few minutes every day to ensure optimal vehicle component performance.
– Use of Quality Fuel
Motorcycle owners are strongly advised to always use fuel with the RON recommended by the manufacturer.
– Immediately replace problematic spare parts
Replacing spare parts before their service life expires will maximize performance and prevent damage to the motorcycle in the future.
– Perform regular servicing at an authorized workshop
Regular servicing will provide consumers with the benefit of preventing various problems or damage to their motorbikes.
For all Honda motorcycle owners, it is recommended to always carry out regular checks and maintenance at the Astra Honda Authorized Service Station (AHASS) workshop.
If there is damage to the motorcycle components, consumers are guaranteed to get replacement of genuine Honda spare parts with the best quality. Including the warranty provided.
For your information, currently Wahana Honda has a total of 308 AHASS spread across the Jakarta – Tangerang area, equipped with various facilities and certified mechanics.
Wahyu emphasized that by carrying out regular servicing at the AHASS workshop, consumers are guaranteed to get the best service and original Honda Genuine Parts spare parts.
“So that the performance and quality of the motorbike are always maintained. Moreover, consumers are now increasingly easy to service using the Wahana Honda (WANDA) application,” he concluded. (dpid/TH)
