STARTING
Starting engine
Switch on the ignition.
Pre-Ride-Check is performed.
( 109)
ABS self-diagnosis is in pro-
gress. ( 110)
DTC self-diagnosis is in pro-
gress. ( 111)
Select neutral or, if a gear is
engaged, pull the clutch lever.
You cannot start the mo-
torcycle with the side
stand extended and a gear en-
gaged. The engine will switch
itself off if you start it with the
gearbox in neutral and then en-
gage a gear before retracting
the side stand.
To ensure rapid opera-
tional readiness of the
catalytic converter, idle speed
is increased for a short time
after engine start.
For a cold engine start and
low temperatures: pull clutch.
Low temperatures can impact
on the starting response. Re-
peated, brief application of
load on the battery causes
battery temperature to rise, so
more battery power is avail-
able for starting the engine.
Press starter button 1 .
The start attempt is auto-
matically interrupted if
battery voltage is too low. Re-
charge the battery before you
start the engine, or use jump
leads and a donor battery to
start.
See the subsection on jump
starting in "Maintenance" for
more details.
The engine starts.
Consult the troubleshooting
chart below if the engine re-
fuses to start. ( 212)
Pre-Ride-Check
The instrument cluster runs a
test of the instruments and the
indicator and warning lights
when the ignition is switched
on. This test is known as the
Pre-Ride-Check. The check is
aborted if you start the engine
before it completes.
