You need to put it into neutral in order to start it or pull the clutch and hold it down until started. I would suggest putting it into neutral. Double check that you have it in neutral by trying to push the bike without holding down the clutch when you think you have it in neutral. If the bike rolls easily, then you know its in neutral. If it won't push or seems hard to get it to roll forward then you know its still in gear. Once you have it in neutral (for sure), hold the clutch down and start the bike.

Othen than that, all you have to do is make sure its turned on and it should start. Some bikes use a key to turn it on, others have a throttle control switch. We had Suzuki Quad racers which were 2 stroke - and are a little different.

Engine

Stuck in 2nd? Is your clutch slipping? When you have the clutch pulled in, and you try to start it, does the bike surge forward? If so, adjust clutch.

Honda xlr 125 2001 got spark and fuel but wont start

The engine does not start if there is a wrong setting of the fuel and a wrong timing of the spark.So unless the settings are correct the presence of spark and fuel is not the condition for the engine to fire and start.
So you need to check the timing of the spark with relativity to the TDC. set it to the correct level. Now remove the plug and check the spark, check the intensity. If low check the HT coils and the triggers. Also check the fuel settings ,check the cylinder for over flow after removing plugs and pumping out the excess, then replace plugs and try to start.

Lubrucating Oil

Use 10w40 oil in the bike. Do not use synthetic oils or oils with "special" additives. The fancy oils often swell the friction plates in the clutch then you need a new set of clutch plates.

Could you take a moment and rate my answer? Thanks!

Clutch wont dissengage

1) Can you push the bike while it's in gear with the clutch pulled in? [If so, clutch is disengaging OK]

2) If not, check when you pull in the clutch lever that it pulls all the way through to the actual clutch [If not, replace broken clutch cable]

3) If so, clutch is binding. Either fix it properly by stripping the clutch.. or just brute-force the plates apart. :-)

Brute-force clutch plate separation: First make sure you have enough oil in the engine (wet clutch), then basically you're looking at either riding it with the clutch lever pulled in until the plates come apart or with the rear wheel in the air CAREFULLY running it in first gear against the rear brake while the clutch is pulled in.
