If your Pulsar RS200 is not starting on neutral gear without holding the clutch, there might be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:
Check the clutch lever: Ensure that the clutch lever is functioning correctly and returning to its proper position. If the lever is loose or not engaging properly, it may prevent the motorcycle from starting without holding the clutch.
Clutch switch: The Pulsar RS200 may have a clutch switch that needs to be engaged for the motorcycle to start. This switch ensures that the clutch is disengaged before starting the engine. Check if the switch is functioning correctly and not stuck or damaged.
Neutral sensor: There could be an issue with the neutral sensor, which is responsible for detecting if the motorcycle is in neutral gear. If the sensor is faulty, it may not send the correct signal to the starting circuit. Inspect the sensor and its wiring for any signs of damage or loose connections.
Battery charge: Ensure that the battery has enough charge to start the motorcycle. A weak or discharged battery may not provide sufficient power for the starting system to engage properly. Try jump-starting the motorcycle or charging the battery if necessary.
Side stand switch: Some motorcycles have a safety feature that prevents starting the engine while the side stand is down. Make sure that the side stand is fully retracted and not causing any interference with the starting process.
Ignition system: If all the above steps don't resolve the issue, there could be a problem with the ignition system or the starter motor. It is recommended to have a qualified mechanic inspect and diagnose the specific problem.
Remember, for your safety and to avoid any potential damage to the motorcycle, it's always best to consult a professional mechanic or contact the authorized service center for further assistance if you are unsure about performing any troubleshooting steps yourself.
