• Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
• Leaving the throttle fully closed,
push the starter button until the
engine starts.
Warning
Never start the engine or run the
engine in a confined area.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can
cause loss of consciousness and death
within a short period of time.
Always operate your motorcycle in the
open air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Caution
Do
not
operate
the
starter
continuously for more than five
seconds as the starter motor will
overheat and the battery will become
discharged. Wait 15 seconds between
each operation of the starter to allow
for cooling and recovery of battery
power.
Do not let the engine idle for long
periods
as
this
may
lead
to
overheating which will cause damage
to the engine.
Caution
If the low oil pressure warning light
illuminates after starting the engine,
stop the engine immediately and
investigate the cause.
Running the engine with low oil
pressure will cause severe engine
damage.
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 whilst the
engine is running, and the transmission
is not in neutral then the engine will
stop regardless of clutch position.
