How does a motorcycle electric starter work?

An electric starter for a Motorcycle utilizes a small electric motor, also known as a starter motor, to turn the engine's crankshaft. When the rider presses the starter button, an electrical signal is transmitted to the starter motor, engaging its gears with the engine's flywheel or starter clutch. As a result, the starter motor rotates the engine's crankshaft, igniting the combustion cycle and starting the engine. This process requires the use of a battery to provide the necessary electrical power to the starter motor.
