Use 2nd gear for twin or single piston engines as 1st gear could or will lockup the back wheel. Also I would not sit sideways on the bike but instead jump up and throw your right leg over the bike so to keep your bike balanced then drop the clutch and as soon as it starts pull the clutch back in otherwise you'll start to bunny hope and loose control.

nice to see this... I thought this sort of skill had been forgotten.. but really, you drop the clutch and pull in back in almost straight away... with so many motorcycles just having electric start only, it is a very useful skill to learn. After you have done it a few times, it comes naturally.. and I agree with many of the comments to use second gear...

This works well for bump starting a multi. However, if you have a twin or a single I'd click it into 3rd or 4th gear to bump it. More chance of the engine actually turning over. Stick a twin or single in 1st to bump start it, usually only ends up locking up the rear wheel.

I have been driving single cyclinder bikes around 250 to 350 Cc. If u can push the bike the best way is to jump on the bike in a riding position and bump start in 2nd gear. That way u minimise thr risk of losing control. 1st gear is too risky if acceleration is not controlled and clutch depressed. By the way i have done these several times so telling from my experience
