engine by turning the key to "START".
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the key, and then
try starting again. Wait a few seconds before the next
attempt. Each cranking should be as short as
possible to preserve battery energy. Do not crank the
engine more than 5 seconds on each attempt.
5. If the engine is started with the starter (choke) in
position 1, the starter (choke) should be returned to
position 2 to warm up the engine. If the engine is
started with the starter (choke) in position 2, keep
the starter (choke) in this position to warm up the
engine.
6. Continue warming up the engine until it idles
smoothly and return the starter (choke) to position
3 before riding.
CAUTION:
See the "Engine break-in" section prior to
operating the engine for the first time.
Starting a warm engine
To start a warm engine, refer to the "Starting a cold
engine" section. The starter (choke) should not be used.

Jump-starting
Jump-starting the vehicle should be avoided. The
battery should be removed and charged instead. (See
pages 8-42-43 for battery removal and installation
procedures.) However, if the vehicle must be
jump-started, proceed as follows.
1. Turn the key to "OFF".
2. Open the hood. (See pages 8-6?-7 for hood
opening and closing procedures.)
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.
