Basic Operating Instructions
Starting the engine — EFI Models
Shift the transmission into neutral.
Pull in the clutch lever when starting the engine. For Dual Sport and motard ver-
sion, turn the ignition switch to “ON” and push the engine start/stop switch to
right side.
(For Off-road 450E version, the right switch should be turned to the left)
Close the throttle grip(11), operate the kick starter starting from the top of the
kick starter stroke, kick through to the bottom with rapid, continuous motion.
COLD START:
For Electric Start, push and hold the button for 2-3 seconds. Then release. Then
Push and hold button again for 5 seconds. If the bike does not start, repeat pro-
cedure.
If the engine backfires, it may be flooded. If this happens, hold the throttle
100% open and crank the engine with the starter. This disables the Fuel Injec-
tion and cleans out the cylinder.
Once engine is started, let the EFI go through the high idle warm up for 10-20
seconds.
Then pull and release throttle grip repeatedly to run engine idle until engine is

slightly closed.
