Engine start
Warning
Before starting the engine, become familiar
with the controls you will need to use when riding.
Warning
Never start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust
gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of
consciousness or even death within a short time.
Move the ignition switch to (1, Fig. 180). 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.
Warning
The side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal
position) as its safety sensor prevents engine starting
when down.
Note
It is possible to start the engine with side stand
down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the
motorcycle with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever
(in this case the side stand must be up).
