Is It Necessary To Kick Start Bike And Scooter On Every Winter Morning? | Motorcycle Cold Start Tips

The engine usually cools down to a very low temperature over the course of the night, thanks to the already cool weather conditions and the dew, which further lowers the ambient temperature.

This is bad news for the firing up mechanism of the motorcycle and scooter, because in the absence of friction (and therefore heat), the starter motor would have to work extra hard to draw current from the battery. This would take more effort from the starter motor, and thus, more physical effort on the user’s part. ‘More effort’, in this context, translates into kick-starting the motorcycle or scooter.

Due to cooler conditions at night, the battery of the motorcycle also cools down. To make matters worse, the battery also likely loses some of its juices while parked idle in ‘standby, mode throughout the night.
Many people use the ‘electric start’ or ‘self-start’ option to ignite the engine, regardless of the time of day. Their engine works just fine too. There is really no empirical evidence supporting this age-old habit of kick-starting a motorcycle in the morning.

Furthermore, thanks to the advent of new and improved designs of engines in modern motorcycles, it’s not really necessary to kick-start a bike in the morning before its first use.

As a matter of fact, a number of modern bikes don’t even have the option to kick-start anymore. These bikes have properly-sized and ingeniously designed batteries that prevent the engine from going into ‘hibernation’ mode in the morning. However, these bikes are also on the higher side of the cost spectrum.

All in all, you don’t really have to kick-start a motorcycle before its first use in the morning, but if its ‘electric start’ feature doesn’t work, kick-starting will certainly help!
