How to Ride the Motorcycle
97
To start the engine:
• Make sure that the master ignition
switch (if equipped) is turned to the
ON position.
• Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
• Press and hold the QUICK START
position on the engine start/stop
switch until the engine starts.
• Check that the engine stop switch is
in the RUN position.
• Make sure the transmission is in
neutral.
The motorcycle is equipped with starter
lockout switches. The switches prevent
the electric starter from operating when
the transmission is not in neutral with
the side stand down.
If the side stand is extended while the
engine is running, and the transmission
is not in neutral then the engine will
stop regardless of the clutch lever
position.
Moving Off
To move the motorcycle:
• Pull in the clutch lever and select
first gear.
• Open the throttle a little and let out
the clutch lever slowly.
• As the clutch starts to engage, open
the throttle a little more, allowing
enough engine speed to avoid
stalling.
