The transmission is in gear with the
clutch lever pulled.
See page 3-10 for more information.
1. Turn the fuel cock lever to “ON”.

3. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.

completely close the throttle. (See
page 3-6.)
5. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch or by pushing the
kickstarter lever down.

If the engine fails to start when
using the start switch, release it,
wait a few seconds, and then try
again. Each starting attempt should
be as short as possible to preser-

engine more than 10 seconds on
any one attempt. If the engine does
not start with the starter motor, try
using the kickstarter.
6. When the engine is warm, turn the
starter (choke) off.
TIP
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off.
