Ignition System Check
1. Remove the spark plug and reattach it to the spark plug lead.
2. Push the electric button START. Apply the rear brake lever to make sure the
rear wheels are locked. If the ignition system is operating properly, a blue
spark should jump across the spark plug gap. If there is no spark, take your
machine to your service center.

1. Make sure there is enough fuel in the fuel tank.
2. Check to see that the spark plug is not fouled. Remove the spark plug and
clean it. Replace it, if necessary.
