(Engine Operation and Maintenance)

Starting the Engine

WARNING: Before starting the engine, make sure that the
gear shift mechanism is in the neutral position (between I and
II gears) to prevent accidental movement which could cause
possible damage to motorcycle and personal injury. (With
electric starter, clutch may be pulled in instead of shifting
into neutral. For more than just starting, i.e. idling, neutral is
best.)

If ignition is switched on, the green lamp on the instrument board
should light up. If the motorcycle is equipped with a reverse gear
gearbox, make sure that the reverse gear engagement (lever) is
set to the front position. This is important since the green lamp will
also be lit if the motorcycle is in reverse gear. Moving the reverse
gear lever forward will put the gearbox in neutral.

Gasoline petcock positions are as follows:

* Down - ON * Horizontal - OFF * Up - RESERVE

Depending on the engine and ambient temperature, use the choke
(air control shutter), carburetor enricheners and starting procedure
as follows:

1. When the engine is hot, do not choke or enrichen the
carburetors. To do so risks flooding the engine. Turn on the
ignition and depress the kick lever (see Fig. 1) about
1/4 of its travel (enough to firmly get the ball of your foot on the
lever) with either your left foot or right foot, depending on what
position is most comfortable with your right
hand on the throttle. Take up the slack in the throttle until you can
feel some slight resistance from the return springs in the
carburetors. However, do not advance the throttle, since this may
flood the engine.

Note: You may find it more comfortable to stand on the left
passenger foot peg with your right foot and kick with your left foot.

Give the kick lever a swift kick. If the engine starts, tickle the
throttle (quickly advance and retard it) to keep the engine running,
but not too fast. If the engine doesn't start, repeat the kicking
procedure. A properly adjusted warm engine should start within a
few kicks. If the engine doesn't start, try the choking procedure
described below in
item 3. If it still doesn't start or fire, it may be flooded.
