TIP
This model is equipped with a lean
angle sensor to stop the engine in
case of a turnover. To start the engine
after a turnover, be sure to turn the
main switch to “OFF” and then to
“ON”. Failing to do so will prevent the
engine from starting even though the
engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.
