This becomes a worrying situation, especially when using a motorcycle to run an errand or undertake any other activity. Even though the motorcycle ignition system is designed to be started using key other alternatives can accomplish the same purpose. A good example is using a screwdriver to start a motorcycle when the rider cannot access their keys.

Steps to follow on How do you start a motorcycle with a screwdriver?

Almost every other home has a toolbox with a screwdriver and hammer. To start a motorcycle using a screwdriver, the following steps should be followed in detail.

• In the motorcycle ignition barrel, slip the screw as deep as possible while leaving its tip.

• Using a claw hammer, pull out the screw in order to ensure the ignition barrel is halfway out. The screw will be pulled in the same manner a nail is pulled from wood using the claws of the hammer.

• A strong flat-headed screwdriver is then inserted in the remaining ignition barrel hole and tilted gently until the motorcycle lights are noticed. This is an indication that the sterling lock is disabled.

• Lastly, the motorcycle should be pushed down the road before pressing the electric start to start the engine and continue driving.
