Final answer:

The correct steps to start a motorcycle include turning the ignition to ON, ensuring the engine kill switch is in the 'RUN' position, changing to neutral gear, applying choke if necessary, pulling in the clutch, and pressing the starter button.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proper order of steps to start a motorcycle is as follows:

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  2. Ensure the engine kill switch is not in the "OFF" position, which means it should be in the "RUN" position.
  3. Change the gear to neutral.
  4. Apply choke if needed (particularly if the engine is cold).
  5. Pull in the clutch lever.
  6. Press the starter button to start the motorcycle.

Note that motorcycles do not have a reverse gear, so the mention of 'reverse' in one of the provided choices is not applicable. Always ensure safety by checking if the motorcycle is in neutral and making certain that the kill switch is set to allow the engine to start.
