No, not all motorcycles have an engine starter button. While most modern motorcycles are equipped with an engine starter button for convenience and ease of use, there are some motorcycles that still use other methods to start the engine. Here are a few examples:

  1. Kick Start: Some motorcycles, especially older or off-road models, may feature a kick start mechanism instead of an electric starter. This requires the rider to manually push down on a kick lever with their foot to initiate the engine's starting process.

  2. Key Start: Some motorcycles may have a traditional key ignition system, similar to that found in cars. To start the engine, the rider inserts the key into the ignition switch, turns it, and the engine starts.

  3. Push Start: In rare cases, certain motorcycles may have a push-start system. These motorcycles typically require the rider to engage the clutch, put the bike in gear, and then push it forward or run alongside it while releasing the clutch to start the engine.

It's important to note that the availability of certain starting mechanisms can vary depending on the make, model, and year of the motorcycle. It's always a good idea to consult the motorcycle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to understand the specific starting procedure for a particular motorcycle.
