RIDING YOUR
MOTORCYCLE
Preliminary checks
Check:
that there is sufficient fuel in the tank;
that the engine oil is on the right level;
the ignition key is in position ON «
» (see fig. 3);
that the following warning lights are on:
—
red warning lights: oil pressure and generator;
—
green warning light: «NEUTRAL» indicator;
that the «CHOKE» control lever is in the starting position (if the engine is cold)
(«1», fig. 4);
that switch «B» (fig. 5) is in position «
» (run).
Cold starting
After making the above checks, engage the clutch and press the button (A «
» in fig.
5).
Once the engine has started, and before putting the «CHOKE» lever back to its normal
running position («2» in fig. 4), allow the engine to idle for a few seconds in summer or a
few minutes in winter.
ATTENTION! - If the «green» warning light does not come on when the ignition
switch is on (see ON «
» in fig. 3) this means that a gear is engaged;
starting the vehicle in this condition could be dangerous.
Before starting, always check that the engine is in «neutral».
