6 Go to the left of your motorbike. DO NOT open the throttle, and briskly
kick the kickstarter ALL THE WAY.
– IF YOU WANT TO START THE ENGINE, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALWAYS PUT ON
STURDY MOTORCYCLE BOOTS IN ORDER TO AVOID INJURIES. YOU MIGHT SLIP
OFF THE KICKSTARTER, OR THE ENGINE MAY KICK BACK AND PUSH YOUR
FOOT UPWARD WITH GREAT VEHEMENCE.
– ALWAYS KICK KICKSTARTER BRISKLY ALL THE WAY WITHOUT OPENING THE
THROTTLE. KICKING THE KICKSTARTER WITH LESS ENOUGH FORCE AND AN
OPENED THROTTLE INCREASE THE KICK-BACK HAZARD.
– CHECK FOR POWER TRANSMISSION AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 0°C (32°F)
BEFORE YOU ACTUATE THE KICKSTARTER. IF YOU DEPRESS THE KICKSTARTER
WITHOUT FEELING ANY RESISTANCE, POWER IS NOT BEING TRANSMITTED.
THIS COULD CAUSE INJURIES.
– DO NOT START THE ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO IDLE IN A CLOSED AREA.
EXHAUST FUMES ARE POISONOUS AND CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUS-
NESS AND DEATH. ALWAYS PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHILE THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING.
– BEFORE YOU ACTUATE THE KICKSTARTER, BE SURE TO KICK UP THE SIDE
STAND.
– DON’T RIDE YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITH FULL LOAD AND HIGH REVS WHEN
ENGINE IS COLD. BECAUSE THE PISTON IS WARMING UP FASTER THAN THE
WATER COOLED CYLINDER, IT CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE.
NOTE:
The highly inflammable components in modern fuels volatilize if left stand-
ing for longer periods of time. If the motorcycle has not been used for over
1 week, the fuel should be drained from the float chamber. The engine will
start up immediately if the float chamber is filled with fresh, ignitable fuel

What to do when the engine is “flooded”
In the event of a fall, more fuel than necessary may get into the engine. In order
to "pump the engine free", pull the hand decompression lever, fully rev up the
engine, actuate the kickstarter 5 to 10 times. Then, start the engine as described
above. If the engine fails to start, unscrew the spark plug and dry it.
NOTE:
The carburetor has an accelerator pump. Every time you open the throttle,
fuel will be injected into the intake passage. When starting, be sure that you
open the throttle completely only once.
Starting off
Pull the clutch lever. Put the engine into first gear, slowly release the clutch
lever and open throttle at the same time.
