Caution
The engine should normally be stopped
by turning the ignition switch to the
OFF position. The engine stop switch is
for emergency use only. Do not leave
the ignition switched on with the
engine stopped. Electrical damage may
result.
To Start the Engine
Check that the engine stop switch is in
the RUN position.
Ensure the transmission is in neutral.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Note:
•
When the ignition is switched on,
the tachometer needle will quickly
sweep from zero to maximum and
then return to zero. The instrument
warning lights will illuminate and
will then go off (except those which
normally remain on until the engine
starts – see page 26). It is not
necessary to wait for the needle to
return to zero before starting the
engine.
•
A transponder is installed within
the key to turn off the engine
immobilizer.
To
ensure
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.
Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
Leaving the throttle fully closed, push
the starter button until the engine
starts.
