Instructions for caring for a motorcycle engine
- The first thing we have to know is that if we have not used the motorcycle for a few hours, we must start the engine and wait a few minutes before starting the march. This is because the oil is cold and does not have the necessary viscosity to start the engine, nor will it reach the top of the engine to start the motorcycle. First of all, we will begin to pump the accelerator but only two or three times, in this way we will wait until the flow of gasoline circulates and in this way we can start it.
