Starting

Danger

Danger of poisoning

 

Exhaust gases are poisonous and can result in unconsciousness and/or death.

–

When running the engine, always make sure there is sufficient ventilation, and do not start or run the engine in a closed
space without an effective exhaust extraction system.

Note

Engine failure

 

High engine speeds in cold engines have a negative effect on the service life of the engine.

–

Always warm up the engine at low engine speeds.

Info

If the motorcycle is unwilling to start, the cause can be old fuel in the float chamber. The flammable elements of the fuel
evaporate after a long time of standing.
If the float chamber is filled with fresh fuel, the engine starts immediately.
Press the starter for a maximum of 5 seconds. Wait for a least 5 seconds until trying again.

Motorcycle has been out of use for more than 1 week

–

Empty the carburetor float chamber.
