PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you always inspect your motorcycle before you ride it. The items
here will only take a few minutes to check and can save troubleshooting time while you are
driving and ensure your safe riding.
Oil level - check the level and if necessary, add oil. Check for oil leaks.
Front and Rear Brakes - check operation and if necessary adjust free play.
Tyres - check condition and pressure of both tyres. If necessary, change or repair.
Throttle - check for smooth opening, that the throttle is fully closing in all steering positions
and check for free-play of the Throttle Grip. If necessary, adjust or change.
Lights and Signals - check that the Headlight, Taillight, Turn Signals and Horn function
properly, if necessary, adjustor repair.
Chain – check the Drive Chain functions correction and is lubricated properly. Replace if
severely worn or damaged.
Steering - check the smooth, unrestricted turning of the steering.
Check that all bolts, nuts, screws, fasteners and fittings are firmly secured. If you find
anything that if not properly secured, re-tighten it to the correct tension. If you are unsure
regarding this procedure, take your motorcycle to a Hunter dealer.
STARTING OF ENGINE
WARNING
NEVER
run the engine in areas without good ventilation.
NEVER
start the engine unless the gears are in Neutral position.
NEVER
press the Starter Button before the ECU has had time to warm up. Doing so will cause
the ECU to disengage and will require resetting by an Authorized Hunter Dealer. Read the
following starting procedure carefully.
1.
Stand the motorcycle into the vertical position and raise the Side Stand. (Note: the Side Stand
is fitted with a censor to prevent the engine starting whilst it is in down position)
2.
Ensure the Gear Lever is shifted to the Neutral position.
3.
Ensure the Engine Cut-off Switch is in the ON position (Toggle in down position).
4.
Lift the Ignition Switch Dust Cover, which hinges to the right.
5.
Insert the Ignition Switch Key into the Ignition Switch and turn it 90 degrees clockwise to
unlock the Ignition Switch.
6.
Turn the Ignition Switch clockwise to the “ON” position
7.
When the Ignition Switch is first turned to the ON position, you will hear a buzzing sound.
This sound is the ECU unit warming up. It takes approximately 5 seconds of the ECU to
warm up, at which point the buzzing sound will stop.
8.
Press the Electric Starter Button to starter the Engine.
CAUTION:
never press the Electric Starter Button until the ECU unit has finished warming up
and the buzzing sound has stopped.
NOTE:
1. Don't press the electric button for more than 3-5 seconds at a time.
2. Release the starter button immediately after the engine has started.
3. Don't press the starter button while the engine is running.
