HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
79
To start the engine:
▼
Check that the stop switch is in the
RUN position.
▼ Make sure the transmission is in
neutral.
▼ Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
▼ Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
Note
When the ignition is switched on, the
instrument warning lights will illuminate
and will then go off (except those which
normally remain on until the engine
starts, see page
38).
A transponder is installed within the key
to turn off the engine immobilizer. To
make sure the immobilizer functions
correctly, always have only one of the
ignition keys near the ignition switch.
Having two ignition keys near the
switch may interrupt the signal between
the
transponder and the engine
immobilizer. In this situation the engine
immobilizer will remain active until one
of the ignition keys is removed.
▼ Leaving the throttle fully closed,
push the starter button until the
engine starts.
▼ Slowly release the clutch lever.
Caution
The low oil pressure warning light
should go out shortly after the engine
starts.
If the low oil pressure warning light
stays on 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 a gear is
engaged 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
clutch 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.
