How to Ride the Motorcycle
To Stop the Engine
1. Engine stop switch
2. Starter button
3. Neutral indicator light
4. ON position
5. Ignition switch
Close the throttle completely.
Select neutral.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Select first gear.
Support the motorcycle on a firm, level
surface with the side or centre stand.
Lock the steering.
To Start the Engine
Check that the engine stop switch is in the
RUN position.
Ensure the transmission is in neutral.
Turn the ignition switch on.
Note:
•
When the ignition is switched on,
the tachometer and speedometer
needles will quickly sweep from
zero to maximum and then return
to zero. The instrument warning
lights will illuminate and will then
go off (except those which
normally remain on until the
engine starts - see page
27
). It is
not necessary to wait for the
needle to return to zero before
starting the engine.
•
In very cold conditions, part open
the throttle to aid cold starting.
Return to the closed position once
the engine has started.

The engine should normally be stopped by
turning the ignition switch to the OFF
position. The engine stop switch is for
emergency use only. Do not leave the
ignition switched on with the engine
stopped. Electrical damage may result.
