NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the key,
and then try starting again. Wait a few
seconds before the next attempt. Each
cranking should be as short as possible to
preserve battery energy. Do not crank the
engine more than 5 seconds on each
attempt.
5. If the engine is started with the starter
(choke) in position①, the starter (choke)
should be returned to Position ② to
warm up the engine. If the engine is
started with the starter (choke) in
Position ②, keep the starter (choke) in
this position to warm up the engine.
6. Continue warming up the engine until it
idles smoothly and return the starter
(choke) to position ③ before riding.
CAUTION:
See the “Engine break-in”section prior to
operating the engine for the first time.
Starting a warm engine

2. Open the hood. (See pages 8-7—8-8 for
hood opening and closing procedures.)
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.

the positive lead of the jumper cable to
the positive terminal of the battery in the
vehicle and the other end of the positive
lead to the positive terminal of the
charged battery.
