Possible reasons for a 2024 Direct Bikes 125 Venom not starting, even with a charged battery, working starter motor, new spark plug, and new fuses, could include:
- Throttle or steering issues: If throttle freeplay or steering is not correct, it may affect starting.
- Main fuse or fuse clamp issues: A loose fuse clamp can cause electrical problems.
- Ignition switch malfunction: If the ignition switch is not properly positioned, the engine will not start.
- Wiring problems: Loose, damaged, or incorrectly routed cables can interrupt the electrical system.
- Engine overheating protection: If the engine is too hot, it may not start until cooled down.
Each of these should be checked carefully.
