7. If starting a COOL engine, DO NOT open the throttle while
starting. Idle speed is computer controlled and idle speed will
adjust automatically depending on engine temperature and air
temperature. Allow the engine to warm up for one minute
minimum at low RPM after starting. Do not run the engine above
2500 RPM.
If starting a WARM engine, DO NOT open the throttle
while starting.
8. If either the check engine indicator or the low oil pressure
indicator (or display) remains on after the engine starts, stop
the engine
immediately . Refer to the low oil pressure indicator/
display information on page 33.
CAUTION
Operating an engine with a misfire or non-firing cylinder can
overheat the catalytic converter, which could result in catalytic
converter damage and loss of emission control. DO NOT
OPERATE the motorcycle if a misfire or non-firing cylinder exists.
9. Leave the throttle closed and allow the engine to idle. Idle
speed will gradually slow to normal as the engine warms to
operating temperature.
TIP
Do not rev the engine or put the transmission in gear
immediately after starting the engine. Allow the engine to idle for
about 30 seconds after a warm start or at least one minute after a
cold start (longer in cold weather). This will allow oil to reach all
areas before the engine is put under load.
NOTICE
Do not run the engine at high RPM with the clutch disengaged or
the transmission in neutral. Maximum safe engine speed is 5400
RPM. Never exceed the maximum safe RPM as this could result in
serious engine damage.
