It had a quirky starting ritual, one that was now an icon for the Bajaj Chetak, particularly the 2-stroke models. Often owners would kick start by tilting their scooters to one side. This was so commonplace that it inspired jokes and became a cultural touchpoint for a whole generation of Indian riders. But why, exactly, did it have this peculiar habit? Was this superstition or did it actually have a practical purpose? In this article, we will walk through the many theories and Chetak owner experiences to find out why this is such a nostalgic quirk.

It was for getting fuel into the carburetor. Tilting also helped prime the Chetak’s fuel system, which wasn’t great.
