What should you do if your motorcycle engine stalls?

When your motorcycle engine stalls, the best action is to pull over safely and restart the engine. This approach allows you to maintain control of your motorcycle while ensuring that you can maneuver to a safe location off the road. When attempting to restart the engine while in motion, you could lose control or cause an accident, especially if you're in traffic.

By safely pulling over, you also give yourself the opportunity to assess the situation. If the motorcycle does not restart easily, you will be in a safer position to troubleshoot or seek assistance without the added risk of being on the road. This decision reflects a cautious and responsible riding practice, prioritizing safety over trying to quickly get back on the road.

Generically attempting to accelerate, rev the engine, or turning off the ignition can lead to further complications, such as loss of control or unsafe roadside conditions. Thus, safely pulling over and restarting provides a focus on rider safety and vehicle control.
