If you ever jump start a bike, it's second gear- cannot imagine it hurting the bike.
It tells you your second gear start switch is on. When on, that switch makes the transmission not use first gear. This is good for icy winter conditions.
There are 2 ways, you can start a motorcycle. The best is to have the gear in neutral either after your last ride or before you press the starter button. Then all you have to do is turn the key, make sure the fuel tap is on and press the starter button to start the engine. Or if your motorcycle is in first gear already, squeeze the clutch handle in, to disengage the clutch and press the starter button. Only start to release the clutch, as you start to ride.
The switched labeled SGS stands for "Second Gear Start". This allows you to start off in second gear when accellerating.
It simply means that "Second Gear Start" has been turned on. The switch is by your left knee on the dash, under the headlight knob. This starts your car out in second gear. Best used in snowy weather.
Second gear start was a feature on a few GM car models in the mid 90's. When engaged, the car will start off in second gear instead of first. This is why the car is slower while turned on. There is much less torque output starting out in second gear, providing improved traction while driving in icy and snowy conditions. There is a button or switch somewhere that turns it on and off.
Plenty.
most likely you can find it in the motorcycle store
Your motorcycle might idle fine and bog out when in gear because of a problem with the carburetor or the bowl. If either area is dirty, it will often bog the bike when in gear.
On our 1995 Grand Prix, the second gear start is automatic in adverse road condtions (Ice, Snow & Rain) I was told that when the wheels spin, it enables the Second Gear Start to provide better traction and power to the drive wheels. on the left hand side of dash panel down at the bottom
