Starting the engine
Note
Follow the “High ambient temperature” procedure
to start the engine when it is warm.
Warning
Before starting the engine, become familiar with
the controls you will need to use when riding.
Regular ambient temperature
(10 to 35°C):
1) Move the ignition key to
ON (fig. 21.1). Make sure
both the green light N and the red light on the
instrument panel come on.
Important
The oil pressure light should go out a few seconds
after the engine has started (page 11).
If the light stays on, stop the engine and check oil level.
Never start the engine when oil pressure is too low.
Warning
The side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal
position) as its safety sensor prevents engine start when
down.
