Try rocking bike to and fro, while you shift to neutral.

SOURCE: Motorcycle engine stalls when cold.

It needs a new spark plug for a start.
I would also advise a new air filter.

CHECK THE SIDE STAND SAFETY SWITCH IS OPERATING

SOURCE: Bike stalls in high gears when cruising around 45-50MPH

Could be your spark plugs, or maybe your side stand as some bikes if not all of them now have a switch on the side stand which prevents the rider from starting the bike if the stand is extended. So if the spring which retracts the stand is slightly lose, it pulls on the switch and cuts off power. Im not an expert but just check these.

Could also be that your carbs are dirty. So just give them a bit of a service and check for any blockages in there.

SOURCE: Honda Shadow 600 c won't start in gear after battery change

The kickstand switch is either bad or bent out of position. See if you can activate the switch manually. Does the bike run now? If so, the switch is bent out of position. If it still won't run, jumper the wires together until you can replace the switch.

SOURCE: not sure why my bike wont start

How long did the bike set un-used? After years, gasoline turns into varnish after evaporation of the aromatic hydrocarbons. I've actually seen a substance like molasses in all the carbs and the gas tank. Take a bowl off of a carb and see what you find. If it has gone to varnish, you will need to disassemble every component that gasoline touches as a liquid and re-build and clean out the gunk. (yes, gas tank too and the diverter valve) This is a common problem.

You should have this problem scanned as soon as possible. Usually when the engine light comes on, it means you have a problem But if it blinks its a warning that u should pull over and shut it off to prevent damage to your engine & its parts. It sounds like a fuel injection/emissions problem. I ignored this problem once & it melted my catalytic converters!

My Aprilia Mojito 125 doesen't star. Ive had it to repair shop several times, they says battery is to small for the bike. Can I have the battery moved from glove box to under the seat and increase the ...

I am not familiar with the Mojito's qwarks. Sometimes the charging systems are underpowered and can't keep the batteries charged on some scooters. Check with Aprilia to see if there is a recall or service bulletin on the bike. If the bike started and ran fine when it was new, and you have the factory sized battery in the bike, then the problem is not with the battery size. If the battery is more than 2 years old, replace it. It may show as good on a volt meter, but it may not have sufficient amps to crank the engine, or be able to hold the charge. The dealer should also check the charging system to make sure it is charging at least 12.8V at idle, and well over 13V (volts) when the engine is revved up. Most scooters charge at 13.5V-14.7V when revved up. It shouldn't exceed 15V. An Aprilia dealer should have the factory specifications for the charging system and can test this in just 5 minutes. If you are having a charging issue, then it is most likely your voltage regulator/rectifier or your stator. The stator is what produces the electricity when the engine is running, the regulator is what smooths the power out and sends it to your battery at the proper voltage. Regulators fail more frequently than stators and are cheaper to repair. Other possible problems are the starter relay or the starter itself may be worn out and drawing too much power. Again, if the bike started fine when it was new, and you have the factory sized battery, then don't change the battery size. You may only be treating the symptom and not the problem. And applying more power can simply cause more damage. If the problem is that you just have to run the starter for a long time before it starts, and you just run the battery down, then it may have nothing to do with your starting system at all. It may be a low compression issue, dirty carb/fuel injection problem, old spark plug, etc. Hope this helps. www.solanocycle.com
