What happens when you push the start button on a bike?
When you push the button it gives power to the starter to crank the motor.

What’s the problem with my bike not starting?
Bike won’t start, battery is fine I just joined the sight because I really need some help. I am a first time owner and have a 2005 Suzuki GSX600F Katana with 12,000 miles. It has been good to me besides recently. I started it up a few days ago, went to put it in first gear from neutral and it shut off. It would not start up there after.
Why is my push starter not working on my motorcycle?
Also, if the push starter was getting an electrical current and still not working, it would have drained your battery after about 10 tries with no engine turn over. So you most likely just need to replace the push starter.
Do you still think it’s the clutch or the starter?
Yes, the bike did jerk a little when I put it in first gear and it shut off. I push started the bike this morning by popping the clutch in which I don’t even touch the starter button, but the starter button has had absolutely no signs of life since the problem started. Do you still think its the clutch? Or the starter?
What happens when you push the start button on a motorcycle?

How can I reach push start speed on my bike?
You can reach push-starting speed quite easily by allowing the bike to roll downhill. In this case, rather than running beside the bike and pushing, you would ride the bike. If attempting a downhill push-start, take care to ensure that you don’t lose control of the bike.
Which is the easiest gear to push start a bike?
Put the bike in 1st or 2nd gear. Push-starting requires the bike to be in a relatively low gear. For most bikes, 2nd gear is the easiest gear for push-starting, though it is usually also possible in 1st gear.
What to do if your bike won’t start?
With the “Duh” issues resolved and your bike still not starting, it’s time to investigate further into your engine spark. A great place to start is at your spark plugs. When you start here, you can keep tracing it back until you find your ignition or spark issue.
