How to Ride the Motorcycle
64
Caution
Continued
Do not let the engine idle for long
periods
as
this
may
lead
to
overheating which will cause damage
to the engine.
Caution
The low oil pressure warning light
should go out shortly after the engine
starts.
If the low oil pressure warning light
stays on after starting the engine,
stop the engine immediately and
investigate the cause. Running the
engine with low oil pressure will cause
severe engine damage.
• The motorcycle is equipped with
starter
lockout
switches.
The
switches
prevent
the
electric
starter from operating when the
transmission is not in neutral with
the side stand down.
• If the side stand is extended while
the engine is running, and the
transmission is not in neutral then
the engine will stop regardless of
clutch position.
Moving Off
Pull in the clutch lever and select first
gear. Open the throttle a little and let
out the clutch lever slowly. As the
clutch starts to engage, open the
throttle a little more, allowing enough
engine speed to avoid stalling.
