6. Completely close the throttle lever and start
the engine by pushing the start switch.
TIP

If the engine fails to start, release the start
switch, then push it again. Pause a few seconds
before the next attempt. Each cranking should
be as short as possible to preserve battery en-
ergy. Do not crank the engine more than 10 sec-
onds on each attempt.

If the engine fails to start using the start switch,
try using the kickstarter. (See page 4-7.)
7. If the engine is started with the starter (choke)
in position (1), the starter (choke) should be
returned to position (2) to warm up the en-
gine. If the engine is started with the starter
(choke) in position (2), keep the starter (choke)
in this position to warm up the engine.
8. Continue warming up the engine until it idles
smoothly, then return the starter (choke) to
position (3) before riding.
TIP
The engine is warm when it responds quickly to
the throttle with the starter (choke) turned off.
9. Release the parking brake.
