  If your Apollo Motorcycle's engine turns over but doesn't start, several factors could be at play. Start by checking the spark plug; if it's oily or wet, clean and dry it, or replace it if needed. Inspect the wiring harness for any frayed cables or shorts, and examine the kill switch and ignition system for defects, paying attention to the CDI, coil, and rotor. Also, ensure there's no water in the carburetor or blocked jets by checking and setting the carburetor components. If the motorcycle has been sitting unused for a while, old fuel in the float chamber might be the issue, so empty it. Finally, check and adjust the valve clearance if it's too little.

  If your Apollo Motorcycle engine doesn't turn when you press the starter button, the following could be the reasons: * The battery might be discharged. Recharge the battery and check the charging voltage, open-circuit current, and stator winding of the alternator. * The main fuse could be blown. Replace the main fuse. * The starter relay or the starter motor might be defective. Check both the starter relay and the starter motor.

Why does my Apollo RXF FREERIDE 125 Motorcycle engine have so little power?

  Tony BlackAug 21, 2025
  If your Apollo Motorcycle engine has too little power, several factors could be responsible. First, check for an interrupted fuel supply by inspecting the fuel tank breather, cleaning the fuel tap, and checking/setting the carburetor components. A very dirty air filter can also cause this issue, so clean the air filter and air filter box. Examine the exhaust system for leaks or deformation and consider changing the glass fiber yarn filling of the main silencer. Additionally, a defective ignition system could be the culprit, so check the ignition coil and spark plug connector. Other potential causes include noticeable wear (requiring an engine overhaul), incorrect clutch engagement speed (check the clutch setting), or insufficient valve clearance (adjust the valve clearance).

  Keith SmithAug 26, 2025
  If your Apollo Motorcycle engine has no idle, it could be due to several reasons. Start by checking if the idling jet is blocked, and inspect/set the carburetor components. Ensure that the adjusting screws on the carburetor are in the correct position by adjusting the idle speed. A defective spark plug can also cause this, so replace it. Finally, check the ignition coil and spark plug connector, as a defective ignition system may be the cause.

  Luke HarrisAug 29, 2025
  If your Apollo Motorcycle engine isn't speeding up, it could be due to a few reasons related to the carburetor or ignition system. The carburetor might be overflowing because the float needle is dirty or worn, or the carburetor jets might be loose; in either case, check and set the carburetor components. Also, a fault in the ignition system could be the cause, so check the ignition system.

  Michael MontgomerySep 2, 2025
  If your Apollo Motorcycle battery is discharged, there are a couple of potential reasons. The battery might not be charging properly, so check the charging voltage and the stator winding of the alternator. It's also possible that there's an unwanted power consumer draining the battery, so check the open-circuit current.

Why does my Apollo RXF FREERIDE 125 engine stall or pop into the carburetor?
- K
  Kenneth PerezSep 5, 2025
  If your Apollo Motorcycle engine stalls or pops into the carburetor, it could be due to a few reasons. One possibility is a lack of fuel, so ensure you fill up with fuel. Another is that the engine is taking in bad air; check the intake flange and carburetor for tightness. Also, the connector or ignition coil might be loose or oxidized; in this case, clean the plug-in connection and treat it with contact spray.
