Clutch start: 2nd gear. Ignition in. Pop clutch. Don’t use starter.
Now I’m hearing this! Although I thought I did that at the first gas station stop but who knows 🤷🏼♀️ good to know thanks for the tip!
Where did you learn to drive.. yikes 😬😳 they are just little Chinese manufactured 125 so starting in 2nd is nuts.. it's not a 650..
Ease out the clutch and you will feel starting to move then once it's moving you will be ok. screw the 2nd bs and pop the clutch you could flip it over and get hurt..
One of the best ones yet!
Cool to hear! Thanks Keenan!
I say the same thing all the time, we are here to help each other. Glad the young man helped you get it sorted.
Yes! Love it so much
Wow! That was a really wonderful vlog! Although happening on the outside you brought us along a journey on the inside with a beautiful happy ending and realizations! Very inspiring! Thank you Tammy! I will try to to do it next time that way too instead of first getting something fixed before I can do the journey.
Thank you! Even though it can be quite cheesy, the inner part is my favorite ☺️🙏🏼 I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed!
Gato is back! 😁😁👍🏽 and he helped you find loads of friends. what fun hiring a bike, no better way to see the island 😊👍🏽♥️🏍
Hahaha I'm so glad to have him around! Always in spirit encouraging me!! Thanks so much 💜💜🙏🏼🙏🏼
Gato the Dominican Republic sh# machine.. financed at about 60.000 pesos and burned out within a year.. no Kawasaki no Honda and a few Suzuki and a few Yamaha.. no Norton's no Triumph.. no nothing just Boxer and the lawn mower maker has a bike here the 1000 but name only.. most are cheap Chinese imports.. with nothing.. over heated with white stinky smoke is the typical Dominican motorcycle..
Loved this video! Great to see your adventures, you are so brave!
Aw thank you!!
Beautiful Wisdom shared! Thank you.
Thank you!!
👍I must admit that I found your bike issues interesting ! Could it be...that lovely friendly people ...have a lot to do with your LUCKY outcomes !?
Thanks for your videos Tammy !
And your Philosophies help to make them more interesting !
Stay SAFE and UPRIGHT and love from Australia 🏍🦘🇦🇺🌹

The moto philosopher!
New spark plug fixed it? 😊
Was that the spark plug he fixed?! Thought the spark plugs are hard to get to? I really have no idea. It seemed like a hose of some sort. But in the next video you'll see... it was only a short term fix...so the adventure continues! 😂
@@MindBodyMotoGirl @denallison It is hard to see but @15:48 that's what it looks like he's doing. I am confused by the plastic bag he was buying, usually spark plugs come in small paper boxes about lipstick size. You may have more footage where it can be seen. I am surprised the engine did not wanna start on starter motor, yet it ran fine once bumpstarted. If the plug was really bad, it shouldn't run. But honestly, I am not an expert. I'd be curious to know for sure how it was fixed :)
And yes, sparkplugs are sometimes hard to get to, but usually not on these small engine offroady bikes. On your Bmw, it would probably be much harder, the engine is bigger and all the plastics or gas tank would be too close. But on the even bigger engine BMWs with boxer engine (where the cylinders stick out to each side), it is even easier then on this rental. Just depends on a bike (or car...)
So glad you didn't give up :)
Aw Walter! Thank you so much for the support!!!
Watching your struggles with starting poor Gato was painful. I'm sure that many readers have told you the proper way to Bump start a bike, by now and maybe even advised against pumping the throttle while engaging the starter. It was fun watching you making Lemonade from the lemons you were given! I've heard that the best way to make a new friend is to ask for help. Hang in there, Warrior!
haha I am starting to hear!! People are telling me not to use the starter. How lucky I am to have you all!! It really is a fun way to make friends, teamwork! Thanks so much Bob 🙏🏼💜
You should have gotten one like the one "itchy boots" has!!
Haha not sure what that is!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl A motocycle! Haha
Hi Tammy..so hope your good..I would of beat you to it for the shortest ride..Ha..as much as it would of been nice to not break down at all..the fact you did and gratefully got the help you needed (which is always cool) you learnt how the bump start a bike..the 1st guy who got it going bounced on the seat before letting the clutch out to put weight on the back wheel to prevent it sliding..it sounded like you had a rough idea how to do that anyway..little skills like this can make a big difference down the road (or track)..Love how you was drawn to those coconuts for refreshment..got to be done..Cant wait for the next one and as always Stay Safe..🙏✌️
Hahahaha thanks so much, that's the feeling I became overwhelmed with by the end of the day...going from "thinking" I knew how to jump start a bike but CLEARLY only having a faint idea 😂 to feeling pretty confident about it! What a gift. I noticed that bounce too, some others seem to emphasize that too, good to know! So true, I kinda love how my little skills build slowly slowly through experience that life just brings my way 🙌🏼🙏🏼 Love that you love the coconuts too! Thanks so much as always!! 🤗🤗🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
11:49 haha probably why my bike is so overloaded!!! Spares, starters and the like!!! Well done Tammy. Bet you were exhausted when you got back!!!
Hahahahaha I bet!!! Perks to not being a wrencher, carrying less! 😂 You soooo know it, I was exhausted and got right into bed!
You can do it! 🙂 Nice shades.
Thank you!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl I meant nice shades. Fixed it. 🙂
Shoving a bike down a hill, over and over, can dampen anyone's enthusiasm, but it seems that didn't affect your outgoing nature. Good to see that attitude. Buena suerte.
Haha thank you!! I was happy to get a new skill! 😂
Haha thank you! I was happy to learn a new skill! 😂
With a car or a bike you have to get to a good speed then pop the clutch - you shouldn't be trying the electric start while popping the clutch. To be clear you either use the electric or the kick or you pop it in gear no combination! good luck!
Huh, interesting! I'm not sure I totally understand what you are saying though? Appreciate the tips and thank you!!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl Sorry - think of it this way - if you were starting a car you wouldn't dream of turning the key while the car was in gear. The car ( or the bike in this case ) needs to be in neutral before you try the electric starter. Bump or pop starts involve getting the car or bike up to a speed where the engine would normally running. You get up to this speed in neutral but then you try to pop the clutch so that the engine hopefully catches. is that any clearer?
@@gercook52 ooff, that's a little confusing. If the motorcycle is (kept) in neutral, it will not start by the "bumpstarting" method Tammy showed in the video. To start like that there needs to be "direct hard connection" between the rear (or driven) wheel and the engine. The engine needs to be turned by something instead of the starter motor and in this case the rear wheel will serve. But between the rear wheel and an engine is a transmission and if it is in neutral then there is no "hard direct" connection at that moment (just like there isn't one when squeezing the clutch in).
But you are correct, the starter button is not needed when bumpstarting. Again, the rear wheel is used to spin the engine, the starter motor is not.
The procedure is: find a hill or person to push, turn the key (ignition) on, put moto into 2nd gear, squeeze the clutch in and hold it in there so you can start moving, start moving, and at decent speed quickly release the clutch while being ready to pull it back in in case you don't wanna keep moving/going.
(not sure why it's called popping the clutch, i'd call it "dumping the clutch" if you wanna keep going right away.)
The reason we do not hit the starter button when an engine is running in a car or motorcycle, whether in neutral or not, is because the starter's sprocket will have hard time meshing with the engine's flywheel teeth trying to spin it but it would just grind trying and eventually grind off or break off.
Anyway, great job on asking for help, Tammy! Adventure for sure.
@@JoeH773Sp I think we are saying the same thing!! If you try to push a car or a bike while it is in gear it is a dead wait. You use the clutch to disengage the gear until you have worked up enough speed for the wheels to be turning fast enough, then you 'pop' the clutch
Very nice
Thank you!
Beautiful message and video, but bummer about the bike. Sometimes it's the adversity that makes the story better though.
Thank you Jim! It's so true
Hey Tammy, du hast ein schöne karakter nur so gelingt es dir solche Situationen zu meistern, schöne video, Tammy meine HELDIN, besos y habrazos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ah muchas gracias Eddie, tus palabras siempre me apoya y aprecio mucho 🙏🏼💜
❤❤
💜💜
Always Love over fear
YESSS 🙌🏼🙌🏼
good thing you learn how to start the bike like that...
It was great experience!!!
Does that make sense now?
I think I'm missing your other message? Sometimes RUclips doesn't filter "reply" messages into the area where I can find the messages to respond to. I think you were telling me about the jump start? Thank yoU!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl Ok the main thing i was saying was that with a bike you can try the electric or the kick or a jump start. You cant try two of them at the same time. Bump or jump start does not involve using the button or the kick start. do you understand the bump start now?
I've never seen you so much lively
haha thank you!
