Starting when the engine is cold

1  Open the fuel tap 

[1]

.

2 Swing up the side stand or center stand.

3 Put the gear in neutral.

4 Operate the choke 

[2]

.

5 Leave throttle closed and kick the kickstarter briskly ALL THE WAY or actuate

the E-starter.

– 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.

– Always kick the kickstarter briskly all the way without opening the throttle.

If you do not Kick hard enought, with an open throttle grip, the kick-back

hazard will be higher.

– Do not start the engine and allow it to idle in a closed area. Exhaust fumes

are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death. Always provide

adequate ventilation while the engine is running.

– Always verify that the transmission has been set to idle (neutral) before

actuating the starter button. If you start the motorcycle with a gear engaged,

the motorcycle will move forward.

– Maximal period for continuous starting: 5 seconds. Wait at least 5 seconds

before trying again.

– Don’t ride your motorcycle with full load and don’t rev up the engine when

cold because the piston is warming up faster than the water cooled cylinder

and can cause engine damage.

NOTE: If you have trouble starting the motorcycle, this could be due to old

fuel in the float chamber. The easily inflammable components of the

new fuels evaporate during longer periods of standstill.When the

motorcycle has been out of operation for more than a week, it is therefore

recommended to drain the old fuel from the float chamber. The

engine will immediately start off when the float chamber is filled with

new fuel.

Starting when the engine is warm

1  Open the fuel tap 

[1]

.

2 Swing up the side stand.

3 Put the gear in neutral.

4 Pull the hot start lever

5 Leave throttle closed and kick the kickstarter briskly ALL THE WAY or 

actuate the E-starter.

What to do when the engine is “flooded“

The fork legs must be partly disassembled to change the spring preload (see

WP manual). Pretension spacers in various thicknesses are available (see spare

parts catalog).

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.
